Asking about UK Short-term Visitor Visa Financial requirements for STUDENT

Upvote:2

I think we can now answer this question. Allow me to summarize your situation:

  1. You have a bank account which has enough money in it to fund your trip.
  2. However this bank account has only been in existence for a month.
  3. Most of the money in it was recently depositied and you say it came from your savings, which were in cash and you have no record of your finances before that.
  4. You have no other records of your income or expenditure before the account was opened.
  5. You have various other relatives who also have either very little money or no financial records.

Will my application be successful based on this information?

In my opinion (and it is only my opinion) it will not. One of the requirements is that you demonstrate a) that you have sufficient funds for your visit b) that the funds are really yours c) your financial circumstances are such that it is reasonable to spend the amount of money you want to spend on a trip to the UK.

You cannot provide evidence to backup either b or c. This is almost certainly going to result in your application being rejected.

What about if I get someone else to sponsor me?

No amount of transferring money from you to someone else and getting them to sponsor you is going to rescue this. Your relatives do not appear to have well-documented finances (a sponsor needs to be able to demonstrate that they have the money to pay you, and that they can afford to do it, just like you would if you were paying for yourself). Even if you had a relative who could afford this, your own lack of financial records are going to count against you.

How can I get to visit the UK?

Keep the bank account you have open, and start using it for your financial transactions. When you have done this for a year or so, you will have built up enough of a picture to satisfy the visa officers. Keep whatever savings you have in a savings account, so that you have a record of them. Then consider applying in a year's time.
