Professional card application

i have been waiting 16 months for a decision...have u got urs

Hi,

I am a UX/Visual Designer and am trying to get the right information to apply for the professional card as a self-employed.

I have Resident Permit and am dependent, my wife is the primary B-Visa holder. Am I eligible to apply for professional card getting VAT no etc., ?

Any related information would be really helpful. I do have read the process online via websites, but a person told me I can initiate this process only if I have a contract given by an employer to initiate. Is that right? I could not find any clause like that in the process.

Please help.

Thanks,
Veera

Hello Veera,

Don't have much knowledge about Pro Card , but for sure you will need a contract to apply for it. It minimum takes 6 months if you are lucky.

Hi Mahendra,

For your kind information, as a part of the criteria, there is no mandatory requirement that you must hold a contract to get a pro card.

I have successfully got a professional card, with the below docs.
1) RP
2) Police Certificate
3) Application form duly filled

To be noted, I was a dependant and my Social security is already covered regularly, so by submitting my CV and a brief letter about the professional qualification I received it successfully in 4 months.

In between, it depends on the social status, profession. There are various categories as well.
I visited xerius.com and done through them.

Meanwhile, you would need to do a kind follow up with the department to know about the status of the application.

So, it was the wrong information circulated aroung that you can get obtain the card only with a contract in hand.

Thanks,
Veera

Thanks Veera for the information. Next time I will be more careful.
