You can show the source of funds for your student visa by documenting transfers from your relatives’ accounts, but you must provide clear proof and supporting documents.

- Bank statements: Submit your bank statements showing the transfer from your relative’s account, with transaction details visible.
- Proof of relationship: Provide documents (like birth certificates or affidavits) establishing your relationship with the relative.
- Letter of explanation: Include a letter explaining why your relative is supporting you and details of the transfer.
- Relative’s financial documents: Attach your relative’s recent bank statements and income proof to show their financial capacity.
- Country-specific requirements: For Canada, you may need a statutory declaration from the relative. For Germany, a formal commitment letter or blocked account may be required.

Visa requirements and accepted documents are subject to change. If you need help preparing these documents, contact your LeapScholar counsellor.
