Hi,
my husband is on Tier 1 Entrepreneur visa, which was successfully extended in 2017.
I'am his dependent and also had an extension last year. We are now preparing document for our baby to apply for Tier 1 Dependent visa and we want to provide our (My husband's and my name) joint bank account as funds maintenance proof. Will our joint account be suitable or it must be a personal account of the main applicant?
can anyone advice, please?
thank you

Joint account is absolutely fine (as long as the person applying/signing for the visa/application is named as one of the joint holder).

In your case, it's absolutely fine.

Yes. HO wouldn't expect a baby (the main applicant for this visa application) to have a bank account (joint or otherwise) to prove maintenance.

The question has already been answered but I had a question of my own.

Was your baby born in UK ? If so, are you applying for a dependant visa because you need to travel or some other reason ?
