drh1010 Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 I am thinking of opening a new bank account to keep the 400,000 required funds in which is required for an extension of stay based on marriage. I would just prefer to keep it seperate from my main account. This will be my first time applying for an extension of stay and I am aware that the funds need to be in a bank for minimum two months which is fine. But the comment from the poster below said that bank accounts need to be at least 6 months old when making the first application. Can anyone verify this? It's the only place I have heard of such a rule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UKresonant Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 That would make no sense, as if arriving on a 90 non-O SE, and opening an account the day you landed would only give you 60 days till you applied. See UJ's reply on the linked posting. Does not need to be open for 6 months, if you get a competent officer to deal with ????. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
