Refusal for tier 1 entry clearence because of money not disposable in UK

[Rajesh singla]

My entry clearence is refused because my money is in HANG SENG BANK of HONG KONG & Bank is not ready for issuing letter which allows money disposal to UK. And the reason they are giving for the same is that money is your own & you can shift it anywhere in the world for any purpose, Furthermore, bank has no problem but issuing of this type of letter is not in their bank laws. Now ECO has refused my case becasue of this. Is there is any chance in AR? ECO has already allowed us to apply AR in 28 days. Even bank is ready to shift money to UK in any other bank. Please help me.

It is highly unlikely that the AR would be successful. Even if you had a letter saying " you can shift it anywhere in the world for any purpose" that may have been arguable. The better option would be to move it to a bank that is willing to give the letter and then reapply.

Doing it now has no impact on AR since they will not consider any new documents.
But it should help a New application

There is a template at the end of the Guidance document which should work.
You would need the statement from the current bank also to show that the money has been in your account for 90 days.

Thanks for your reply to my query. One more question, as you say money must be for 90 days in bank. As i shift my money from my Hang Seng Bank in Hong Kong to my HSBC Bank in UK on the same day, if now there is again need to maintain balance for 90 days in HSBC Bank of UK or i can apply for visa earlier (as funds are with me for more than 90 days firstly in Hang Seng Bank of Hong Kong & now in HSBC Bank of UK for 20 days).
Thanks

There are two separate criteria that you can meet in different ways
1. That you had the money for 90 days - statements/letters from both banks needed
2. Money disposable in the UK - statement from UK bank addresses that

So, you don't have to wait for 90 days in uk

[Rajesh singla]

Thanks for reply.
As i understand your words " As GBP 200000 In my Hong Kong bank was for more than 90 days & i transfer these GBP 200000 in my UK bank on 21-04-2018, i have to attach both statements in my new application. Because now money is now in my HSBC UK Bank, there is no need of any special wording from bank.
