Hi,
I want to try and apply for Right of Abode in the UK this week, and I have a few questions that I can't find the answers to.
1. I only want Right of Abode so I can legally work in the UK for a few months of the year, every year. I don't intend to live there. Is that acceptable? Will they only issue right of abode for the time I plan to be in the country forcing me to re-apply for my next visit?
2. I don't really have evidence of how my trip is to be funded, and the application asks for that. I'm a tattoo artist and I get paid in cash. I rarely have money in my bank account. I could put $3000 in my account, but I wouldn't have a history of a bank account with money in it. I could also get a letter faxed to me from someone who is willing to give me a job and house me while I'm over there. I could also probably get a letter from my current boss here in Canada, stating how much I am paid in cash. I also already have the ticket (and it shows that I'm only going for a month). Would that be enough?
3. I've already received a UK licence to practice tattooing during my last visit to the UK in April. Will this strenghten my case? Or would it make it worse by making it look like I worked illegally when I was there (I didn't work at all. I just thought it would be a good idea to get the licence because I wanted to eventually work there).
4. If my application is rejected, will it show on my passport and make it difficult for me to get into the UK if I want to visit later.
I would really appreciate answers to these questions. Thanks!
