Tier 1 Entrepreneur New Application

Post by asadim » Wed Mar 20, 2019 9:24 am

I am going to submit a new application on 25th of March under the current Tier 1 Entrepreneur category. All the documents are in place, however my current bank is not offering me the statement account letter in the format required. My only option is to open a new account in another bank and get the required bank statement letter. However, in this case my account opening date will be 21st of march and I may not able to demonstrate the requirement of securing funds in the account for more than 90 days.

I have an option to submit my existing bank account statement along with the letter from the new bank which together can satisfy the requirement.

Please advise>

You simply need official bank statements for 90 days. Your bank does not give you that ?

I surely got the bank statement letter. But i have read on your forum and even on some other websites that letter shouls state that these funds are transferable to UK. My bank here in UAE is not offering me letter with this statement.

Yes, that should work as long as you can show you had the money for 90 days - it should not matter that it is across two different banks.
