Hi CR001

Thank you so much for enlighten

Just to reconfirm - I can transfer £200K next year if I want right ?
Yes. But you are expected to show you have had access to the funds you showed throughout - you cannot use it for anything else so there is really no advantage in not bringing it earlier.

During extension / ILR will they ask for proof of transfer from My country to UK or they just need to see the proof of money invested from my savings to business account ?
They have the right to ask for any information. See above answer too.

Hi Marcnath

Thank you so much for your revert


Could you please enlighten this “ Yes. But you are expected to show you have had access to the funds you showed throughout - you cannot use it for anything else so there is really no advantage in not bringing it earlier “

I have used some of the investment funds since it’s not required now to transfer now, but when I transfer from my country to uk , it will be in excess of 200k, kindly correct me of i’m Wrong

How to show that I have access to my funds throughout, is it by bank statement? Is it necessary to show My bank statement from my country for extending?


I’m may use my other bank account to transfer funds from my country to UK

Thanking you

Abuhf

The conditions of your visa requires you to "have access to the funds throughout until it is invested or spent in your business".

That means you should not have used it for anything else.

In this forum, I have not seen any rejections based on that nor have I seen anyone asked to provide proof for that. There are no documents specified, so you don't have to submit anything until asked. But, if asked, you will have to figure out how to prove it.

My personal opinion is that it is not something HO pays attention to on its own.

Dear Experts and Mods,

I need some advice

I applied for tier 1 entrepreneur visa 200k route and the source of funding is my own money not third party.

Now can I involve third party ( friends or family ) to fund me with £200k, is it allowed ?

If yes what documents they need to give me ?

Can I ask them to transfer money from their business and personal account in UAE and Singapore to my uk saving account is it ok ?

My concern is when i applied I used my own savings and now if involve third party to fund me is it ok ??

Will there be any questions during extension / ilr stage

Please help, I need your valuable support

No, you can't. The immigration rules do not allow for third party funding (except for VC).

Third party funding at the application stage is only to show you have access to the money - they are still expected to give you the money to invest it yourself.

In principle, if they are transferring the funds to your personal account in UK, from where you transfer the funds to your business account, it satisfies the requirement of the immigration rules. There is no direct condition that the funds you showed is the one you should invest.

However, in some cases, HO has asked applicants about the source of funds and if they do that, you will end up having to do a lot of explaining. Clearly, as part of the application, you have submitted documents confirming that the money can be freely transferred to UK. I have not heard of any new rules in India that changes that, but if that is the case, be prepared to provide that evidence.

You, of course, may also be required to show evidence that you have maintained access to the funds you showed until the date it was invested in the business - that is a requirement under the immigration rules.

Dear Marcnath,

Thank you so much for enlightening, please clarify the below

For " You, of course, may also be required to show evidence that you have maintained access to the funds you showed until the date it was invested in the business - that is a requirement under the immigration rules " - ---------- Since the ILR / Extension is after 3 years, how can we show the evidence that we maintained access to funds if I close my Indian bank account after i transfer the funds to UK , please assist.

Example - If I have started using my funds in India but i will transfer excess of GBP 200,000 before end of this year is it OK , can we take money out and depoisit back in same account before transfer ?

Not sure I understand - once you transfer the funds to UK, you don't any evidence from the Indian bank. You only need the evidence until you do the transfer and I am sure you can get that from the bank.

Hi Marcnath

Thank you for your revert

Once we transferred funds from my country to UK , it’s not mandatory to show the bank account from back home during extension / ilr stage right ?

I may close my bank account in India after transferring funds to UK, Do you think home office will ask for old bank statements??

Please assist , I want to be very diligent in each and every step I take , don’t want to leave even single stone unturned

Hi Marcnath

Thank you for your revert

Once we transferred funds from my country to UK , it’s not mandatory to show the bank account from back home during extension / ilr stage right ?

I may close my bank account in India after transferring funds to UK, Do you think home office will ask for old bank statements??

Please assist , I want to be very diligent in each and every step I take , don’t want to leave even single stone unturned
Yes, they have the right to ask for old bank statements - I have no idea if they will ask for it.

Thank you so much Marcnath, you mean they can still ask for old bank statements for proof of transfer from My country to uk

I’m going to close my account after tranferring funds to uk , so how can we provide bank statements when account is closed ?

Is it there on immigration rules to ask the prooof of transfer and bank statements from my country to uk

Please assist

I don't understand your problem. You can, of course, get statements before the account is closed. I assume you are getting regular statements.

Most banks also give you old statements after the accounts are closed. They may charge you for it nominally.

The immigration rules allow HO to ask for any relevant documents for clarification - they don't specify each type of document.

Not sure what assistance I can provide.

Rule 245D(c) is very clear.

money remaining available to the applicant until such time as it is spent for the purposes of his business or businesses:
(i) ‘Available’ means that the funds are:
(1) in the applicant’s own possession,
(2) in the financial accounts of the UK business(es) which they are relying on to claim points, or
(3) available from the third party or parties named in the application under the terms of the declaration(s) referred to in paragraph 41(a)(vi) of Appendix A.


However, your extension application or ILR application does not require you to submit any documents to show that you meet the condition.

And so far, I have not come across a case in this forum where HO has asked for it or used it as a reason for rejection. Though there have been cases where HO has asked people to show the source of the funding they used for investing.

There is nothing you can do about it since you have already used the funds for other purposes. So, you may just want to hope that there is nothing that makes HO want to look in more detail on the funds.
