Marriage Visa

[tirekicker]

With regard to the B.400.000 showing in a bank book for 2 months (or 3 depending on the officer) prior to applying for the marriage visa, can the bank book be a FIXED DEPOSIT account showing this amount or do you require to show a Bank Saving book showing the required amount plus money transactions throughout the year.

I was under the impression it did not matter what type of bank book you show so long as it has the required amount in the account for the 2/3 months prior to applying, but I have now been advised that a Fixed deposit book showing the required money is not acceptable.

Has anybody else heard of this before.

Most immigration offices will accept a fixed deposit account. But some will want to see another account showing deposits (or transfers) and withdrawls to show that you have some income.

A check with your assigned immigration office would be a good idea.

Thanks for that advise, I guess it depends on what Officer you get and what mood he is in that day.

Most offices are consistent on this type or requirement. It is not always the officer.

I believe the fixed deposit will more likely be accepted for retirement rather than wife support; where they have always been interested in seeing some activity in my experience.
