Visa criteria

Recommended Posts

Saw a tweet from Josh MacDonald quoted on the BSPA site that he intends to still travel to Britain , pick up his visa and look for opportunities through the summer

Is this actually possible??

Given his sponsoring employer is not trading I assumed his visa would be invalid

If it is still valid and issued then I understood the sponsor had to provide accomodation and a regular income (something like a min £150 per week) I cant imagine this would be the case in the circumstances

Anyone able to clarity the realities of the situation

I can't believe you've put this in the wider public domain

Excuse me - it was on the main BSPA website twitter link and still is!! It is therefore very much already in the public domain. I'm not even on twitter so would not even have been aware unless it was on the sports official national website

Devastating news about Workington speedway shutting down this year, sadly it’s left me without a spot for 2019, after some thinking and talking to a few close friends, I’ve decided to still fly over and collect my visa and spend some part of the season hoping for a opportunity.

Thank you Mac - that would make perfect sense.

Would make a good asset to any club seen him ride at Sheffield and worth a punt on a 4 point ave and I think he would have done that easily  this year will get snapped up when changes are made

I thought the same at the time. There has to be a sponsor who makes a lot of guarantees.

I will of course but i was more thinking about adding to the asset base and that all our riders are around his average so any loss of form our injury he could be in .
