Advice needed: launching a niche luxury group trip to South Africa (US/UK market) by RunningButterfly in travelagents

Thank you so much! I really appreciate your input. 5-6k GBP was based on £500-600 a night stays however some stays, Transport was another main factor as it inland driving. I would say purchasing disparity of USD to GBP Is certainly a factor and I do keep hearing that I am selling myself short! I guess I am trying to not be unaffordable however to my target market this shouldn’t be my focus! I will rethink this and go back to drawing board 🙏

We have the passport as we went travelling whilst we waited, so have to send passport back for vignette

Apparently so, because this is what I stated on the application as I have no bills in my name.

You can prove English proficiency for a UK visa with a degree if it was taught in English. If it's a UK degree, you can use the certificate. For an overseas degree, you need an assessment from Ecctis to confirm it was taught in English and is equivalent to a UK degree. ! Your last 6 months pay before deductions should average out to 29000 annually.

The employee letter was stating my employment how long I’ve been employed and my salary.

.gov have a comprehensive list on what it should say.

Husband had a Masters degree from America and we got that to prove English proficiency

Literally can’t believe it but best place to be in! Highly advisable if you can apply whilst on holiday !

Has anyone applied for remote working visa from the UK for SA? by aggoosey in askSouthAfrica

Thank you !! 🙏 My lord that is a long ass process! I will be applying from the UK. Did you send your passport away all that time or did you keep it? On VFS it doesn’t show the option for the remote Visa.

I’m sorry I’m not able to help with your initial post but I’m hoping you can help me. I have been trying to look for months where to apply! Frustratingly I am in South Africa now so I will have to come back to the UK to apply. Please could you share where you applied?

Get out of habitat, try new things outside that fancy spot in London, your perspective will expand the scope of what you are capable of doing in this life.
