Hi,

We're just finishing off collecting everything for our application and I just wanted to check a couple of things.

  • Do I need to provide the 2 recent photos (passport size) with the application when we send it off? Or do we wait and do this at a later time?
  • How recent do the police checks need to be? I have one from Feb 2015 in the UK. I left the UK on IEC in December 2015. I'm assuming I'd need a new one but I just wanted to be sure..
  • When we orginally set up our bank account they put me under Mr instead of Miss. No one mentioned this to us and it only appears on our bank statements so of course we didn't notice. Finally someone pointed this out and we had it changed. However, this means when it came to print out bank statements for our application it says Mr for me on the statement from when we first set up our account. Will this cause any issues? We planned on adding a note explaining the situation just in case.

1) Yes, you need to submit the photos with your application when you send it off.

2) The police checks need to be within the last 6 months.

3) I would still submit all the documentation you have dating back to when you first opened the account (regardless if they got your title confused). I would also definitely add the note explaining the mistake. I would also include a recent statement where that has now been corrected.
