Using Foreign A/c as Maintenance fund for UK Application

Post by kolaxy » Fri Dec 03, 2010 8:41 pm

Good evening 'forumites'. Please I urgently require the following information from you:

A) According to the following Home Office Tier 1 general policy guidance, is it possible to use the money in my foreign bank account as maintenance fund if I'm applying within UK.

B) If 'A' is possible, then, as I've been in the UK for over 2years, I'm I suppose to leave an equivalent of £800 for 90 days in my foreign account or £2800.
Thank you.



[size=9]201. In order to qualify for entry clearance,or leave to remain under Tier 1 an applicant must show that he/she has enough money to support himself/herself.

The maintenance requirements are detailed below:
202. Applicants outside the United Kingdom seeking entry clearance must have at least £2,800 of personal savings which must have been held for a consecutive 90 day period prior to the date of application.


203. Applicants in the United Kingdom seeking further leave to remain must have at least £800 of personal savings which must have been held for a consecutive 90 day period prior to the date of application.

204. The exchange rate of overseas currency will be made using the OANDA rate conversion on the date of application. www.oanda.com[/size]
