LTBV

[wendie]

hi,
im new to this site( found today). have been reading with great interest.
we have applied for our ltbv, we used an agency, and everything went off to london in dec. we are assuming that our application is now in nz.
however after reading some posts i think we need to check where it is.
can anyone please give me the london or wellington phone number that i need ?
its like waiting to open the presents under the xmas tree, but at least you can see you've got presents. with this you dont know weather youve got a yes or no, until youve got one, if you see what i mean. :icon_question:

Hi Wendie,

We came over on a LTBV too, been here two months now. Whilst it is a very quick route into the country... took us 2 & 1/2 months from application including only 5 days from allocation to approval; it also has it's pitfalls... not having residency means that most mortgage lenders want 20% deposit. This to us, means that we are forced to rent for longer than we had hoped because we do not want to move the majority of our money out of the UK while the NZ Dollar is so strong.

In answer to your original question all Business applications are handled in Wellington.

sorry for hijacking your thread wendie..

cal, i thought the 20% deposit was standard whther you had residency or not..? Is that another thing I've got wrong?

thanks
