Recently, we've received feedback from many friends applying for refugee status: their rental applications have been rejected, and they can't find anyone to hire them for free skills training (nail art, massage, cooking).

We completely understand the concerns of landlords and employers—they fear tenants will have no income, and even more so, they fear hefty fines for employing illegal workers (employing illegal workers can result in fines of up to £60,000).

Actually, as long as your application or appeal is still valid, there are compliant ways to resolve this issue.

Landlords and employers can verify identities online through the UK Home Office's official system. The process is simple and doesn't involve privacy breaches.

-

🔍 Rental Verification

Landlords can use the "Right to Rent" online system, entering the application number, name, date of birth, and address to verify the legality of the rental.

-

💼 Work/Internship (Even Free)

Employers can use the "Employer Checking Service" to similarly verify identity status. Once compliant, they can hire or provide training.

Three Practical Tips for Applicants

✅ Ensure your application is valid; this is a prerequisite for all other steps.

✅ Proactively provide your landlord/employer with your application number, name, date of birth, and address to alleviate their concerns.

✅ If you want to learn nail art, massage, or kitchen skills, you can legally "apprentice"—as long as the employer conducts online verification, it's not considered illegal employment.

We've seen too many real-life cases of missed opportunities due to information asymmetry.
