Hello, I was wondering if someone could clarify a couple of points regarding the current requirements for E2 visa documents. I know there have been some changes over the last few years, but I keep hearing different things from different sources. I'm a UK applicant, currently getting my documents together.

Firstly, how many apostilled copies of my Bachelor's degree do I need? I thought it was just one, but according to this recruiter's site two are required:

Secondly, are degree transcripts necessary? I've heard sources saying they are no longer needed, but some of the recruiters and schools I've seen say otherwise. It's a bit of a hassle ordering them for me because my university charges for this service, and I don't want to spend money on something I don't need.

Thanks for your help.

The transcript one is confusing one. Hikorea site mentions that transcripts will not be needed but my consulate says that a transcript is needed for degree verification. So I stilll think one is needed.

Somebody once mention for one job he was hired for, he had three maybe four transcripts used. Seemed like one was opened by immigration, one by Education, and one maybe opened by somebody who did not need to open it.

Still I am guessing your transcripts should only cost your a few pounds for one. Get 3 or 4 to be safe. Nice to have extra's. Make sure they are sealed!
