London work visa paperwork 2026: what do I actually need?
Skilled Worker visa, and get the CoS date right.
IASC number too, people forget that
CoS date matters but also check your contract start date lines up, mine was off by a week and caused hassle at the border.
honestly the CoS date's fine but check your passport's valid well past your intended stay, that one caught me out
fair but also double check your employer's sponsor licence is still valid on the day u apply, not just when they issued it
Also keep your IHS payment receipt handy since the reference number gets checked at the border.
Get your biometrics appointment booked at the earliest slot, Irish applicants still need one and the Croydon centre fills up weeks ahead.
Book it the day your CoS lands, slots vanish fast
the thing that trips people up is proving the job is genuinely eligible, not just that u have an offer. check the soc code the employer put down matches what you'll actually be doing & ask for the sponsorship licence number upfront so u can verify it rn. also bank statements for maintenance funds need to be dated within the window, not just show the right balance
Club entry prices for visitors in London 2026
Pulse closed, try Fold in Canning Town
yeh Fold's the shout now, door's usually 15 to 20 quid but they sometimes bump it later on
Second that, and they only take card at the door now so don't rock up with cash.
door staff clock off around 2 so get in before
honestly if a club quotes u a different price at the door than what's listed online, just walk, that's a mug's game.
Still holds, check their insta stories for the real list price
Agreed, and the give-away is when they won't show a printed price list at the till, that's your cue to turn round.
some places charge more after midnight tbh
spot on, but the online price is usually the guestlist one so ring ahead or you'll get stung at the till
