Can I show funds from someone else's account for my UK student visa if I plan to work part-time?
Yes, you can use funds from someone else's account for a UK student visa, if the account is your own or your parent's (or partner's), with their written agreement. You need bank statements showing the funds held for at least 28 days, a consent letter and proof of relationship.
