The latest D8 requirement: Social security :/

Post new topic

Buzz 2023

Hi lovely people,

I'm about to have my SEF appointment in December to get my residency card for my D8 visa and have just had a friend turned away (ahead of me in the process) because she didn't have a social security number. Are you hearing this too?


If you have obtained one, are you now obliged to contribute a large percentage of your income towards the scheme? It seems like A LOT... Appreciate any help or guidance :) Thanks!

hi do you mean your NIF or NISS number ? i had my SEF interview for D8 last week and was asked for NIF and other documents last week and all went well.

NISS - did you have one of these too?

Great to hear it all went well.

@Buzz 2023 I have my appointment in December as well. Didn't know about NISS requirement. Could you please post an update in this thread after your appointment? I hope it will go well and good luck!
