Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, you can have a sponsor. You'll need their bank statements, sponsorship letter, income proof, and relationship documentation. The sponsor must demonstrate sufficient funds to cover your entire trip expenses.

You can submit statements from multiple accounts to show combined financial capacity. Include statements from all accounts that contribute to your travel funds, ensuring they're all in your name or properly documented if joint accounts.

Liquid funds in bank accounts are preferred. Investment portfolios, stocks, or bonds can be included as supplementary proof, but you should have readily accessible cash for immediate travel expenses.

Bank statements should be from the last 3-6 months, with the most recent statement dated within 30 days of your visa application. This shows current financial status and spending patterns.

Self-employed individuals should provide business bank statements, tax returns, business registration documents, and client contracts or invoices showing regular income. Consider including a letter explaining your business and income sources.

Credit card statements can be supplementary evidence but shouldn't be your primary financial proof. They show spending capacity but not actual funds. Bank statements showing available balance are more important.

Documents can be in your local currency, but it's helpful to include USD equivalent amounts. If documents are in other currencies, provide current exchange rates or bank conversion statements.

Return flight tickets demonstrate your travel plans and financial commitment but aren't direct financial proof. They support your application by showing you have funds for transportation and intention to return.

If financial proof is insufficient, your visa may be denied. You can reapply with stronger financial documentation, additional bank statements, or sponsor support. Address the specific reasons for rejection in your new application.
