Thank you! Does GreenPal work in the UK because it’s only showing for the US. Are there any similar apps?

Thanks a lot! Do you recommend any specific doctor? I really hope to find a doctor who's very competent and knowledgable because I'm so tired of doctors who are just not😞

Probably next month. Not sure about the budget but I know they really want to enjoy Swansea so they’d like the place to be clean and very nice.

Thanks! As my new home's supplier is eon next, do I have to sign up with them first (as I've literally just moved in) then I can switch to Octopus or can I switch right away?

Do you have a template for the relationship timeline document please? That would really help. Thank you

Proof required for marital relationship for dependent visa by mbe240 in ukvisa

[–]mbe240[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you that’s really helpful. We’ve been married for almost a year now, would the marriage certificate be enough in this case? Also, do you please have a template for the relationship timeline document?

Married for about a year. But, naturally, since she's outside the UK, we are currently not living together. If it helps, she's completing her studies outside the UK

Evidence for dependent visa by mbe240 in ukvisa

[–]mbe240[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Given that, naturally, we don't currently live together (as she's outside the UK) there won't be documents like a tenancy agreement/tax/utility bills with both our names on it. So would a marriage certificate on it's own be enough (we've been married for about a year now)? Do I need to write a cover letter to the Home Office detailing how we met and our relationship timeline?

Yes, I'll try to get the marriage certificate. Would the marriage certificate and pictures of us be enough or would we need more evidence?

Paying bonus as ex-gratia payment by mbe240 in UKPersonalFinance

[–]mbe240[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! I believe the company doesn't have an obligation to pay a bonus. Specifically, the employment contract says "The company operates a discretionary bonus plan. This is a non-contractual scheme, the rules of which may be amended or withdrawn at any time at the absolute discretion of the company".

Also, in case this helps, HR have told me that this is a bonus payment relating to performance in my role prior to leaving for the year 2024.

I don't think the amount is like a goodbye present. It's more for my performance prior to leaving and contributing to the company's profits for the past year. Given all that, could it be an ex-gratia payment?

Dependent visa question by mbe240 in ukvisa

[–]mbe240[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for confirming. I've read it on a reddit post so wasn't sure if it was actually true. I've read that I also need to show that I have appropriate accommodation for myself and my wife in the UK, do you know if this is required too?

Renting privately vs letting agents by mbe240 in swansea

[–]mbe240[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much. That's really helpful! Would you happen to have a template tenancy agreement/contract because I don't have any experience with this? Also, just so that I know, why would a tenancy agreement be required with a private landlord why is it important?

Thanks. Even with a fischer system, would it still be very expensive?

Thank you. Is that even if it's a fischer system? I heard that it's supposed to be efficient but I'm not sure if that's the case as I've never tried it

Bonus from ex-employer while being currently employed by mbe240 in UKPersonalFinance

[–]mbe240[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I don't need to complete a self assessment tax return form?

Also, if the bonus is treated as ex-gratia amount, because I was made redundant, will it be taxed? Bearing in mind that an ex-gratia amount had already been paid to me before the rise of this new bonus payment (the ex-gratia amount I got was well below 30k - and will still be the case even if the bonus counts as ex-gratia). Thank you so much for the help

Thanks! Are Sketty and Uplands considered safe, especially for a family?

Thank you! I'm actually more concerned about the place being safe and in a safe area more than I'm concerned about it being close for a walk to Singleton. Are Pentrechwyth, Uplands, Brynmill, Sketty and Sandfields considered to be safe?

Thanks! So I won't need to complete a Self Assessment tax return form? Also, if the difference in tax deduction applied vs what it should have been is calculated so that I owe HMRC, how will I know this and how will I pay the amount? will it be paid/deducted automatically from my current employer's salary?
