Residence Work Permit application form
Method of Payment:

The only accepted means of payment is through Western Union which is to be paid to the UKBA’s
branch office at St. James Park, London. Please kindly check Section 1 – A5 for payment details.
(This means of payment is temporary).
Credit Cards & Bank-to Bank Transfers (NOT ACCEPTABLE)

We do not accept the above means of payment due to the past fraudulent activities which has been going on
for quite some time now, whereby our bank accounts have been hacked and used for fraudulent purposes by
person(s) who are located outside the UK. We have also received fake credit cards which was been hacked
from the rightful owners account, has also been used as payment. So therefore due to this, we only accept
payment from person(s) outside the UK to be made through Western Union, and this would be temporary till
we have had a better security to tighten up and secure our banking account system and bank logins, before
we would start giving out our banking account numbers, so do bear with us.

Please note that your application is invalid if you do not pay the specified fee in full or if you
pay by any method other than the required method of payment given above. You will then be
required to make a fresh application, and any delay in doing so may affect your appeal rights if
your application is subsequently refused.
