You must provide clear financial documentation to support your student visa application for the UK or Ireland, especially if your bank statements show large deposits.

- Show proof of funds: You need to demonstrate you can cover tuition fees and living expenses as required by each country. - Bank statements: For the UK, statements must cover the last 28 days; for Ireland, 3-6 months. All statements must be in your or your parent's name (with a consent letter if using a parent's account). - Large deposits: Any large or unusual amounts must be explained with supporting documents (such as sale deeds, salary slips, or gift letters). Unexplained funds can lead to visa refusal. - Translations: All documents must be in English or have a certified translation.

Visa requirements and acceptable proof of funds are subject to change.
