Hi all,
Since the visa got extended to 2 years and you can reapply for another year, I wanted to give it a shot.
I've got some worries, I'm extremely anxious and tend to over-stress myself. But I wanted to be prepared and have closure.
I have the cleared funds though my bank statements look a bit odd:
- My main bank I use is Monzo, but there's a lot of incoming money from my HSBC which is where my salary is usually delivered and loans are repaid.
-
On that HSBC i have a 12k loan which I'm worried they'll have an issue with. It was taken out a couple weeks ago to reconsolidate debts, lower loan payments and prepare for the application. (I specifically decided to lower the loan payments so that I'd be able to easily live the WHV period without financial stress)
-
I've been off and on jobs these couple months so my statement seems a bit unstable, but I just started a temporary full-time position for until before I fly off (my employer is aware that I am leaving). And have now moved back in with family for the last couple months here so there's no rent needing to be paid. But ofc that's not indicated anywhere, should I write an extra letter mentioning it?
-
Last time I did the WHV, I decided to stay based in Tokyo with a part time job that I would take occasional breaks from to go travelling and such. So on a CV it would seem that I worked there constantly for 8 months, but in reality it was split up work periods. I'm worried they'd assume I was just working.
Are any of these going to be problems and if so how can I prepare to avoid issues and possibly get past it?
Aside from that I know not to mention work in my statement and what to write for the itinerary. Also I have a plane ticket to Japan but as I haven't decided which countries I want to visit on the way back, I haven't bought a return ticket yet. But I have the required £2,500 and a little more + temporary employment before I leave.
Sorry for the wall of text, would really appreciate any guidance.
