Same documents will be needed along with decree absolute & new marriage certificate. And most importantly your new marriage must have been performed after the date of decree absolute.

You will have to show the source of cash saving and also have to deposit all cash income into bank account. With £40k you will need to earn around (40000-16000/2.5= 9600) (18600-9600)

£9000

Have you declared your 'cash in hand' earnings to HMRC and paid all tax due on the income :?:

You will have to declare the source of cash savings and usually savings through loans won't be considered.

They won't raise such.

You should be aware, though, that the first £16,000 of any cash savings will be disregarded.

No if you can prove your subsisting relationships through visiting, chatting, calling, transferring money, sending gifts etc.

If the financial requirement will be met through employment then it won't be mattered.

House inspection report (if sharing with none-related adults) and the landlord's noc will be needed.

No as everything has been transformed into online. In my view opinion even instead printing the BRP card there should be an app introduced. :idea:

Spouse visa bank statements help

Post by Samuk2020 » Sun Aug 09, 2020 12:13 am

Hello
I have two questions
1. Basically I get my statements by online, I requested my bank to post me statement in every month but I got quarterly statement 3 months together, I also contacted my bank if I get printed from a branch and get all stamped in last 6 months statements, but bank said they can stamp on only for last 3 months.
If I get last 6 months Statements from online is it OK? Or if do request my bank to post me last 6 months statements is OK?

2. I started my job in this February and I get my salary on the following month between 12 to 15, shall I submit my statements from the following month or from the February?

Thanks for your kind reply

Following month (March) but as a precaution attach the February one as well.

I don't think you necessarily need bank statements by month, the requirement (for income from employment) is:
Personal bank statements corresponding to the same period(s) as the payslips at paragraph 2(a), showing that the salary has been paid into an account in the name of the person or in the name of the person and their partner jointly.
So you should really only need to provide bank statements covering the specified period rather than a specific number of bank statements.
