Tier 4 (General) Visa

Is Your Bank Statement Acceptable?

Most Tier 4 visa refusals are because students do not have the required

amount of money in their account or have not provided the correct, acceptable evidence of

the funds that they hold.

It is your responsibility to check that your financial documents meet all the requirements set

out by UKVI. To help you check your documents, we have created this information sheet for

you.

Please note that the information below is for guidance purposes only. Although every effort

is made to ensure its accuracy, we strongly recommend that you read the Tier 4 Policy

Guidance for applicants, available on the

Home Office

website.

Remember, this guide only applies to Personal Bank Statements. The UKVI do accept other

forms of financial evidence, which have different requirements. If you plan to use a different

kind of document as evidence, please contact the

International Student Adviser

who will be

able to advise you. You can also find more information in pages 42 to 52 of the

Tier 4 Policy

Guidance.

This guide only checks that your Personal Bank Statement contains all the information that

UKVI require. We strongly recommend that you read pages 42 to 52 of the

Tier 4 Policy

Guidance

before submitting your financial evidence, as Personal Bank Statements from

certain international banks cannot be used.
