Guest snowy10 Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 Gaz, It is finally my turn to say/shout TURN ME GREEN!! Got the e-mail this morning....what a fantastic feeling. Going to get busy planning a validation trip, with the exchange rate so poor at the moment I think it's the best thing for us to do and look into emigrating when the exchange rate is more favourable or if I manage to find employment out there whilst still here in the Uk. Good luck to everyone else who is waiting. Now the journey really begins!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Opportunities Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 Gaz, Was wondering whether you can guide me. My husband is a tradesperson and gets paid weekly. When lodging the visa 176 application we need to submit payslips from his current employer. How many payslips will suffice? I was thinking payslips for 12 months, but that will mean we will have to submit 48-52 payslips!? I have asked this question before and were advised that I must submit a P60. I don't know what that is. I am a South African. Please shed some light. I am still waiting on SS approval, but are gathering all the required docs for the application. Thanks Karen x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaz n family Posted April 5, 2011 Author Share Posted April 5, 2011 We submitted some pay slips with our application. I used to get paid once per month which kept mine down to a few, i scanned and emails one for each six months over the last 5 years. I dont know if this was too many but it worked. Maybe do one per month or 1 for every 3 or 4 months. Do the payslips show the amount of Tax paid per month and a running total in each? Mine did so it was easy to see i had been earning for the whole year. A P60 is an annual tax statement, can you not get the same in South Africa?
