Can I use savings account statements to show funds for visa in UK/Ireland?
Yes, you can use savings account statements to show proof of funds for your student visa application. Each country has specific requirements:
- UK: Savings must be in your or your parents' account for at least 28 days, with a statement dated within 31 days of your visa application.
- USA: Personal or family savings are accepted if funds are liquid and cover tuition plus living expenses.
- Ireland: You or your sponsor must show at least €10,000/year with a bank statement covering the last six months, preferably on official bank letterhead or notarized.
- Poland: Bank statements in your name are accepted if funds have been held for at least three months.
Requirements are subject to change. If funds are in a parent's account, you may need a consent letter and proof of relationship.
Cash income, business income or no ITR?
