For many Nigerians dreaming of relocating abroad, securing a visa is one of the biggest hurdles. You’ve gathered all your documents, filled out the forms, and even paid the necessary fees—only to receive that heartbreaking rejection email. The reason? Your bank statement.
Meet Tunde: A Painful Lesson in Visa Denial
Tunde had always dreamt of studying in the UK. He got admitted into a top university, secured his tuition deposit, and started his visa application. But there was one problem—his bank statement.
Thinking he had it all covered, Tunde submitted his father’s account statement, showing enough funds to cover his tuition and living expenses. But during the visa review, the embassy flagged it. Why?
- Inconsistent Transactions – His father’s account had large, unexplained deposits, raising red flags.
- Insufficient Funds Over Time – The account showed enough money, but it was only deposited recently, making it look like a last-minute fix.
- Account Ownership Issues – The embassy questioned whether his father’s account was genuinely accessible for Tunde’s studies.
Result? Visa Denied!
Avoiding the Same Mistake – What You Should Do
If you’re planning to apply for a visa, your bank statement is just as important as your admission letter. Here’s how to make sure yours is flawless:
Use an Active Account – Your bank statement should reflect regular transactions, not just sudden large deposits.
Maintain Sufficient Balance Over Time – Your account should have had the required funds for at least 3 to 6 months before application.
Explain Large Deposits – If there’s a big deposit, provide supporting documents showing where the money came from (e.g., business earnings, property sales, etc.).
Use a Sponsor Wisely – If using a sponsor, make sure their financial relationship with you is clearly documented (e.g., a letter of sponsorship, birth certificate for parents, etc.).
Never Fake a Bank Statement! – Visa officers verify documents, and using fraudulent statements can lead to a permanent ban.
