UK Visa for job interview paid for by the company
I know that we need to show healthy funds balance in our bank statement for UK Visa, and I don't have funds for the entire trip.
I have been invited by a Tech company (A rated sponsor) for job interview, and have received an invitation letter which clearly states that they would bear my reasonable living expenses, flight and accommodation.
The invitation says,
"I confirm that during the course of their business visit in the UK, ***(company), United Kingdom will pay all reasonable living costs and expenses. We will also bear the cost of their flights and accommodation."
More info from invitation letter:
" will be restricted to the permitted activities of visitors and will not engage in any productive work or be required to sell goods or services directly to the public during their visit." " In the circumstances we request that be granted leave to enter the UK as a standard visitor in accordance with the Immigration Rules, Appendix V: Visitor Rules, to undertake permitted business related activities, as set out in paragraph 5(a) of Visitors Appendix 3: Permitted Activities for all Visitors."
Will the fact that I do not have enough money to pay for the trip myself prevent me getting a visa?
