Hi Visa Matchers! For those looking to obtain a UK Fiance Visa, satisfying the financial requirement is a key hurdle.
To help the Home Office confirm your financial status, they require applicants to declare the source(s) of their cash savings in their application. This confirms that you have sufficient funds to support yourself and your fiance without relying on public funds.
Here is a sample letter of how UK Fiance applicants can confirm their source of funds. We used this template to successfully receive our UK Visa!
NOTE: The sources of funds in this template may be different from yours
