Spouse Visa Financial Requirement

[imzaviuk]

Dear Sir/Mada

I wish to make an application for the extension of my spouse under the 5 year route.

Having gone through the Appendix FM financial requirement, I have the following query:

Immigration requirement:
(c) Where the person is listed as a director of the company and receives a salary from the company, all of the following documents must also be provided: (i) Payslips and P60 (if issued) covering the same period as the Company Tax Return CT600. (ii) Personal bank statements covering the same 12-month period as the Company Tax 3 Paragraphs 2 and 10(b) are the evidential requirements relating to salaried employment and income from dividends. Appendix FM 1.7: Financial Requirement May 2016 65 Return CT600 showing that the salary as a director was paid into an account in the name of the person or in the name of the person and their partner jointly.

My query is that I have been the Director of the company for 6 years however, I have never drawn any salary or dividend from the company in order to leave the working capital intact. I was simultaneously pursuing another job where I was drawing salary.

I left this job in order to concentrate fully on the business and have now started drawing salary from the past 6 months soon after I left my job.

My question is while I have last 6 year's Company Tax Return but since I wasn't drawing any salary until May this year will it be sufficient to provide personal bank statements and company bank statements from the time I have been drawing the salary? How do I meet the requirement as stated above?

I would be very grateful if you could please answer my query at your earliest convenience.

Kind Regards
