We’re excited to introduce a major update designed to simplify your visa application and business eligibility process with enhanced precision and ease. Enhanced Calculator Process Our calculator has been completely revamped. It now features advanced verification checks that ensure every detail you enter meets the strict eligibility criteria. This means you can trust that your business information and visa work history are being processed accurately, reducing errors and streamlining your overall application process. Robust Verification Checks Your data accuracy and security are our top priorities. With the newly implemented verification measures, our system rigorously cross-checks each input to ensure compliance with current eligibility standards. This not only minimises mistakes but also expedites the evaluation process, giving you more confidence in your application’s outcomes. Introducing the 88-Day Visa Report One of the standout features of this update is our brand-new 88-day visa report. This report is designed to support your visa application by compiling all the essential details in one place. It includes: • A comprehensive breakdown of your employment history, listing each company you’ve worked for. • An aggregated view of your payslips submitted over time, ensuring you have a detailed financial record. • A table that calculates your daily hours, sums up weekly totals, and translates those into the number of eligible days per week. Detailed Employment and Payslip Summary With the 88-day visa report, you can easily review your work history. Every job is clearly outlined with key details you need, making it simple to verify your contributions and meet immigration requirements. Whether you’re using this report as part of your visa application or for personal records, the detailed breakdown provides transparency and ease of understanding. User-Friendly and Print-Ready We know that having a tangible record is sometimes essential. That’s why the new report is designed to be easily printable. You can generate a hard copy of your complete work and payslip history, making it convenient for both digital submission and offline review. Improved Performance and User Experience In addition to these key features, we’ve implemented several performance enhancements and fixed minor bugs to ensure a smoother, more responsive experience throughout the app. We appreciate your continued support and feedback, which helps us refine our service to better meet your needs.
