UK-based applicants document income differently — P60s and payslips rather than a US-style W-2 — and GBP earnings get converted to an INR-equivalent for eligibility. As a founding Hague Apostille Convention member, the UK's POA process runs through the FCDO's apostille service rather than Indian embassy attestation.
P60 (annual tax summary) or recent payslips, cross-checked against UK bank statements.
GBP income is converted to an INR-equivalent for eligibility — confirm your lender's conversion method.
UK National Insurance number is commonly requested alongside standard passport/visa documentation.
UK solicitor or notary, then a single apostille via the FCDO's Legalisation Office.
Your most recent P60 (annual summary) or 3-6 months of payslips as income evidence.
A letter from your UK employer confirming role, salary and tenure.
6-12 months of UK bank statements showing salary credits.
The UK has been part of the Hague Apostille Convention since the treaty's earliest years, so a POA signed here needs a UK solicitor or notary's signature, followed by a single apostille from the FCDO (Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office) Legalisation Office. No separate Indian embassy attestation step is needed.
UK-based applicants are well served across our panel; the apostille process here is generally faster than Gulf-country embassy attestation.
Compare all lendersMost lenders accept either, though some ask for both — a P60 alone gives a strong annual picture, while recent payslips confirm your current, ongoing income.
Turnaround varies with FCDO's current processing volume — check their current published timelines, since this can change and directly affects your overall application timeline.
Lenders generally look at your NRI/OCI status and income stability rather than the specific UK visa category, though documentation may vary slightly by visa type.
