But who told you that you need proof of accomodation for applying under Tier-1?

I know it is not a prerequisite or not mentioned in any books; but everytime I call VFS I hear contradicting statements on accomodation.Hence I dont want to take risk.I dont want my application to be rejected b'coz of this.That is why I am very much concerned about this one

(1) Dont call. Send an email and get a written response which can be included in the email.

(2) Just stick to guidance note and feel safe nothing will go wrong.

And yes, forgot to mention: In any case VFS does not make decision on your application.

My advice to you is to look at what is minimum and sufficient and the quality of the proof itself.
Check the addresses/ tel no that you are providing etc. rather than worrying about redundant evidences.

all the best

Hey, Push_hsmp, please advice on whether on we have to give accomodation proof. And if we don't submit accomodation proof, will my application be impacted.

Please advice

Hi,
So the question is "are scanned documents are acceptable?". I wish to send the house contract agreement in u.k through email.

Well if it comes to it, HO insists on original documents. However, when I initially came to UK as a Student I provided printouts of email confirming 7 days booking with a Hotel and faced no problem.
