How to get national insurance number(british) from india. i need for visa processing..kindly reply soon?
Answer:
Dear Rajesh,
I am quite surprised that Immigration has asked you for NI number. Well as this is the first time you are visiting UK and you are still in India you obviously will not have the NI nunber.
NI Numbers are genrally issued for people in the UK who have started working or Intend to start work soon. This is not a quick process, it could take a few weeks before you can get a Pernament NI number which is in the format of XX NN NN NN X ( X = Alphabets, N Number).
For your WP Visa purpose you can tell the concerned authority that you do not have a NI number at the moment as this is the first time you are visiting UK and have not started work. I think you should be all right once you mention this to them and there wount be any effects on your WP Visa processing as well. Do provide them the full details of your employer in UK if you have not already done so.
Once you have started work in UK your employer will generate a Temporary NI number ( TN DD MM YY S - where DD MM YY is your date of birth and S is gender) and start paying our tax and NI contributions. You would then need your salary slips, Employer contract and address proof to apply for the Permanent NI number atthe nearest DSS office.
Hope this helps. I have given you a bit of NI background as I think it will help you as you are visiting first time.

Well first you have to be British. It is issued when you are born.I would ask at your consulate
In the UK you are issued one by the Inland Revenue when you reach an age where you are able to work.(This is 16 years old). This is for tax reasons.
I cannot see why you need one to obtain a visa. A visa is only permission to enter England.
If you want to work when you come to England, you require a Work Permit which will be obtained from your Embassy.
For a British person, your English is kind of lacking, don't you think? Also, if you are British, you would not need to ask! Add to you question and explain if you would.
