    Usualy a Bank staement plus some other evidence of employment such as a trading invoice is sufficient as long as the client also signs a very clear statement that thier income is genuine.

    Self cert is designed exactly for these types of scenario.

    It would be best to tell them in advance what Nationality you want to be, what job you want to do, and who you want to bank with.

    It will save them time in preparing all the supporting documentation for your application :rotfl::eek:
