I had all funds in the UK, and didn't remove them.

You get a letter stating that the visa has been approved and then the passport and original documents follow after a few days!

wish u all the best..

Hi Pa00051,

Thanks for the information.Could you please answer following queries please.

1) In which country did you maintain your 200k funds (in UK or in other county) ?

2) How long you kept 200k funds in the bank in UK or other country ?

3) can you please list out the documents you kept for your Visa.

4) I also applied for the same Visa by maintaining the 100k funds for 3 weeks in UK bank and another 100k funds for 3 weeks in India bank. Does this cause problem for my Visa ? do we really need to maintain 200k funds till application is with UK BA?

5) Did any of your bank (UK or out side UK) got verification email or call to verify your 200k funds. If so did you they verify on verification date or bank letter issued date

Thanks for all your help so far. Waiting for your reply.

I had kept my funds in UK and did not withdraw anything till today.Documents I provided was UK degree,bank statements (maintenance 900 for 3 mnths and 200K) ,passport and student permit.I dont think it should be a problem as long as it is in your account or the person sponsoring you.My bank did not receive any call or email.Hope this helps! :)

Hi Pa00051, Thanks for detail info.

All 200k funds were in my bank account in both UK and India banks.But for security reasons, I have withdrawn all my funds after I get a letter and bank statements from banks. Right now, I do not have money in India and UK banks. Does this create problem.

Did you keep your business plan document ?

Please help.

No. Business banks statements of third party are not accepted at all. Sorry bad news for you.

I think this has been clarified earlier by one of senior members smehmood there is no mention in policy guidance on maintaining the funds throughout or to hold it for certain period before generating statement, which they would rather mention like in the case of maintenance funds where they clearly ask for 90 days statement... and as a personal advise do not worry on whats been done rather seek help on what you think is going to happen... like if you think its going to be rejected better approach someone senior here or your own solicitor to examine ways to counter act rather than remorsing on what has happened... please do not take in offence its just personal suggestion

Solomon

Congrats for getting Visa. Could you please answer the following queries.

How many days you maintained 200k funds abroad ?

Did you keep your 200k funds till you receive your Visa.

In which country, you have maintained 200k funds

Did your bank get verification call / email about these funds. If so what kinds of questions UK BA asked your bank manager abroad.

Thanks for all your help in advance. I shall wait for your reply.

Hi 10020132, Thanks for the info.

Is 200k funds verification done through phone or email to the bank.
Do you have any one who maintained 200k funds for short time in out side UK and got entrepreneur Visa.

adilzia · Post by **adilzia** » Thu Dec 13, 2012 4:04 pm

Third party business statement from pakistan for 200k is acceptable r not?

Coz there in policy guidance no mention about third party business bank statement from outside uk for 200k is acceptable r not.

Please share ur experience.
