roak:
As to inflows and outflows and expenses you answered the question already. You can't say your earning 350k and then have months where your expense is higher than 350k. The Immigration officer will use that to deny you visa. They work with guidelines.

If you have a side gig making over 1.2m why don't you have a separate business account for your side gig. I believe at least you have a registered business name even if you don't have a registered liability company?

Let your clients pay into your business account. Then have 2 bank statements for visa . Include CAC registration details, client invoice, etc

Another solution : I've told you a workaround for this. Any lump sum that comes from your side business put it in FD (fixed deposit) build your FD statement for 2 to 3mths don't take out the money there.

Or the earnings that come from your side gig make that your savings and don't touch much out of it.


I have a sole proprietorship account, but I don't use it. I have the CAC and TIN certificates. All payments from salary and side gigs go to my personal account.

Can I use the personal account statement + my salary payslips + invoices to my clients?

Also, I have 5M in fixed deposit.

I intend to have at least 3M balance in my personal account when printing the statement. The account is busy. No suspicious lump sum.

I will stay in the UK for 6weeks. It's a pre-doctoral research programme. I will also submit letter from my school registrar in Nigeria about my PhD programme in Nigeria.

My challenge is whether an invoice bearing a registered enterprise is ok when the money is paid to my personal account.

But, can't I defend it by saying that an enterprise is not actually a legal entity like limited liability companies? An enterprise is heavily associated with the founder.

Starting now to collect payments with the enterprise account seems late to me.

What do you think?

It is a point-based system and everyone needs to understand, that their profile is different.

Major thing you should be ready to present good documents that will satisfy the consular officer that you have the funds and that you will leave the UK after your visitation.

A strong purpose of intent will be able to convince the officer why you need it.

When applying for a skilled work Visa and I need to show a proof of funds. Can I use my UK bank account as the POF? The address on it is my sister's address in the UK when I went for visit Visa.

If I am printing the bank statement. Is one month bank statement enough or the bank statement must show how the 1270 pounds for proof of funds came in?

Thank you very much

You can't pay with your naira card. You have to use a dollar card. Find someone who has one if you dont.
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 5 by roak: 9:16am On May 18
Be like say you wan dey go through complicated route....

How long have you operated the FD account? How long had the 5m been there?

If you've had the FD account for long you can ask for the history of your FD from inception. Let them see the money has been seating there for long.

No one will query you for using your FD acct as proof of funds. Afterall no be bank the FD dey? FD no be money??

You already said the issue you encountered. Them saying lump money came in. Them saying your expenses are more than your stated income and I've told you, submitting your FD investment advice / FD account statement is a work around solution to this.

If you have 5m in FD you don't need to submit any other bank account that would be showing large outflows or inflows.

Except you decide to modify and increase the figures you put for expense and income, based off earnings from your side hustle ; backing this with many explanations and evidence.

The choice is yours

MrMagnetic:


I have a sole proprietorship account, but I don't use it. I have the CAC and TIN certificates. All payments from salary and side gigs go to my personal account.

Hello house, I have a question.

So I am supposed to travel in September for an exam and I'm staying for a week only. Flight has been payed for already (my mistake).

The issue I have now is that I'm a serving Corp member and there's no way my allowance can suffice for proof of funds however I'm going to be using my dad as a sponsor and if I do, will my account still need to be submitted?

Also can I use more than 1 person as a sponsor?

Use only one sponsor. Don't complicate things. Ensure your dad's account (or whoever your sponsor is) can fully cover the visa cost, accomodation costs, flight cost and othrr expenses.

Get your organisation to write a letter saying you're doing your compulsory NYSC with them , which is mandatory by the Nigerian Govt... Basically their letter is to show that you have ties or things you're doing in Nigetia that would bring you back.

They need to know you're not going there to get stuck.

If you're dad is sponsoring you then his statement should suffice but you can add yours as well so there's evidence you're working and getting paid.

If you're legally allowed to open and operate that bank account then its not a problem using the statement.

Emphasis on legally allowed. I'm assuming you opened a Monzo or Revolut account or the likes.

First off, the question is are you allowed to open such account as a non UK resident. If the answer is Yes, then there's no problem.
