Maintenance funds while switching bank accounts

Post by ShrutiBlue » Fri Sep 13, 2019 10:20 am

Hi guys

My husband, who is due for a Tier 2 dependent extension in December, has been maintaining £630 in his account. However, he now wants to switch from Barclays to NatWest to avail their switching reward and cashback schemes. If he transfers this £630 over, can we show statements from the previous account and then transfer into the new account with consecutive statements from the new account or is this likely to be troublesome?

Sorry if this has been asked before.

Bump - I'm in a similar position. Money in a bank account in China (where I was working) and money in the UK. I want to transfer the money to the UK. I'm worried it will force me to reset the 6 month period for my GF to move back with me.

Please do not tag onto thread that are irrelevant to your visa category. Stick to your own existing thread please.

This topic is a tier 2 general work permit visa topic which has completely different visa rules and requirements.
