Photocopies of Documents Needed for Premium Service Application?

[FLRM_Applicant91]

Hi there,

I am planning to apply for a FLR(M) visa (unmarried partner) using the Premium Service and I was wondering if its necessary to make photocopies of documents such as payslips or my bills that I'm using as proof of cohabitation.

Or do they return all originals?

Thank you for your help!

I think they scan all the originals you send them and they'll send it back to you afterwards.

I recently applied for a settlement visa, sent originals + copies. They sent everything back to me including the copies I sent them. I think your case would be the same.

The OP is applying to switch WITHIN the UK in person, so a completely different process to your circumstances!!

You need copies of all documents. You get originals back.

That’s why I said “I think”, I didn’t say it was definitely the same. No need to overreact.

Hi guys,

Thanks for your replies.

If I don't need the originals back do I need to make a copy? My bills are all printouts of electronic versions anyways.

I will definitely make a copy of my lease though

Take copies....better to have them and not need them than need them and not have them.

Belt and braces!

That's a great point - I'll just print off another set!
