Hi, I am willing to apply for Residence card this month, now I am holding Tier4 visa as a university student where my visa is going to expire in next couple months.

My husband is an EU nationality who working as a director of a limited company. Firstly, I confused he is a self-employed or employed. But, I checked all his HMRC papers then I found that he is employed or worker. Also, I asked his accountant and they said the same thing.

My question;
1. in section 12b, the employer's declaration, he has to sign his name himself due to he is only one director in the company. Is it sound fine?
2. Do I have to ask the accountant to write a letter to confirm his company and his status? and may I get some idea about the letter, please.
3. In document required in application guideline, HO mention only the payslip and bank statement. Do I have to provide them extra docs i.e. P60, tax assessment or any recommend docs, please?

Thank you very much in advance

Fill self employment section.
In self employed section you will see the comprehensive list of documents required from Home office to company directors.

Fill self employment section.
In self-employed section you will see the comprehensive list of documents required from Home office to company directors.

Thank you very much for your advice. I am now still confused because my spouse should be worker section because he pays tax on a basis of employed. For self-employed section, there is a question asking when the spouse registered as self-employed. He never registered that one.

If spouse never registered as a self employed then who is responsible?you or home office?
Why don't you read a full guidance notes from home office for self employed person.
As a sole director of a company your spouse may get a dividend not a payslip.
But if your spouse is getting a payslip then your spouse still needs to fill a tax return as a self employed person

Employed means to work for someone
Your spouse is not working for someone elso so she is a self employed person not employed.

thanks for your comments. I have read all docs provided from HO website but still confuse that why I am here searching for help. For HMRC, my spouse is employed and always fill up form of tax return as an employed the not self-employed. He has both salary and dividend voucher. all these make me so confused. I did ask his accountant and they really confirm that he is not self employed and cannot fill up in that section.

Alright
Then fill a employment section and ask your spouse s employer to sign a form and endorse a stamp on application form and also ask them to give your spouse a reference letter as well.
