Client Question: The company I used to work for has shut down and is no longer in business. Can I still claim that employment experience if I provide a statutory declaration with my job description?
✅ Expert Answer – Apical Immigration Experts 🔍
Yes—you can still claim that work experience, even if the company has ceased operations! 🏢🚫
Vetassess understands that businesses close down, and they allow alternative forms of evidence to validate your past employment.
🛠️ Here’s what you need to do:
✅ Provide a statutory declaration – This should include:
-
Your job title 🏷️
-
Detailed list of duties and responsibilities 🧾
-
Employment duration 📆
-
Full-time or part-time status (with hours per week)
Make sure it’s sworn in front of a legal authority (e.g., Justice of the Peace, Notary Public).
✅ Submit supporting documentation, such as:
-
💼 Employment contract
-
📜 Letters of promotion or internal communications
-
🧾 Payslips or salary records
-
🏦 Bank statements showing salary deposits
-
📄 Tax or social security contributions (if available)
✅ Prove the company’s closure – This can include:
-
❌ Company deregistration notice
-
🧾 Official records from the relevant business registry
-
📰 News articles or formal announcements (if applicable)
