Maintenance funds required for Tier 1 General visa |
|
Under the Tier 1 (General) Migrant scheme, visa applicants are required to demonstrate that they have sufficient funds in savings to support themselves in the UK.
To do so, they must provide specified documentation demonstrating that a sum of at least £2,800 - or the equivalent thereof - has been held and maintained, as personal savings, over the three month period immediately preceding their visa application. If the main applicant is including dependents in their application, the main applicant will require additional funds of £1,600 per dependent to have been maintained as per the above.
This page explains what proof of maintenance you must send to support your application to the highly skilled worker category (Tier 1 General) under the points-based system to work in the United Kingdom.
Documents Required to prove Maintenance Funds
Evidence to prove maintenance funds available must be in the form of cash funds. Other accounts or financial instruments for example, shares, bonds and pension funds, regardless of notice are not acceptable.
If you wish to rely on a joint account as evidence of available funds, you must be named on the account along with one or more other named individual.
For applications made either in the United Kingdom or overseas, all evidence must be dated no more than one month before the application is submitted.
Bank Statement
The personal bank or building society statements should clearly show:- your name;
- the account number;
- the date of the statement;
- the financial institution's name and logo;
- transactions covering the three-month period;
- that there is enough funds present in the account; and
- that there has been enough money present in the account for the past three months.
If you wish to send electronic bank statements from an online account these must contain all of the details listed above. In addition, you will need to send a supporting letter from your bank, on headed paper, confirming that the statements are genuine. Alternatively, electronic bank statements with the official stamp of the bank that issued the statements will be accepted. The stamp must appear on every page of the statement.
Home Office will not accept statements which simply show the balance in the account on a particular day as these documents do not show that you hold enough funds for the full period required.
