Yes, i am going to contact the council tomorrow.

Npower won't add her name unless she becomes the main account holder and pays the bill.
Yorkshire Water require a council tax letter to add her name.

Frustrating!

Thanks for your advice.

It was a spouse settlement visa, and yes we provided our Vietnamese marriage certificate.

Thanks. That's good to know about the marriage situation.

A GP letter isn't accepted apparently, that's what i was told by Halifax Bank.

Hi All Has anyone any experience of how to get a bank account for someone on a visa here? My wife's name isn't on our tenancy because the landlord won't allow it as she wouldn't show up on a credit report, and i can't add my wife's name to our utility accounts either.

I just want to double check that there is no reason why i can't leave the country in that time ...

Thanks for your replies. It's great to get some confirmation that i am on the right track. I also found the dependant child issue confusing, but the documentation does clearly state that as my daughter has a British passport she's a British citizen and so isn't classed as a dependant for immigration ...
