📌 What is Proof of Funds?
Proof of Funds (POF) demonstrates that you have sufficient financial resources to support yourself during your stay in the host country, covering living expenses, tuition (if applicable), and unforeseen costs.
💡 Tips for POF Preparation
Ensure you have bank statements showing the required amount in your account for at least 3-6 months prior to application.
If you’re being sponsored, provide an official sponsorship letter, along with the sponsor’s bank details.
If you have a scholarship, attach a confirmation letter indicating the amount covered.
Ensure funds in your local currency meet the required amount when converted. Use current exchange rates.
If a family member is supporting you, provide an affidavit stating their willingness to cover your expenses.
Visa application season can be overwhelming, but with proper planning and documentation, you’ll have a smooth process. Tag friends who are applying to ensure they’re prepared! 🚀
