funds maintenance

[waqarlatif]

I am planning to apply for the tier-1 from outside UK.
I am maintaining two account with the same bank. In one account I am maintaining the funds to fulfill Tier-1 "Maintenance of funds" requirement and I do not use this account and just have a required balance in it from the day one it was opened. Where as the other account is my salary account and I am doing transactions as per my personal requirements in it.

Some of my friend advise me that I should use my first account in which I am holding the required balance as well to qualify for the immigration.

Kindly advise, is it necessary to have transactions in an account in which one has maintained the finds if he has a separate salary account as well.

Appreciate if you can answer my query.

Regards,

[Markie]

you can use both accounts as the 1st one provides proof for your maintenance funds and the 2nd one as a counter proof for your salary slips

Hello Latif,

Mine was similar case like yours. I will advise you to have regular transactions to be on the safer side - you can withdraw few dollars before the expiry period and make sure it's above the 2800GBP
