Looking through the SET(M) application form and notes I cannot see any mention of how many statements they want submitted or for what period eg. most recent or 3 or 6 months ? Have I missed something or will just one (the latest) suffice ?

Also, is it necessary to photocopy all pages of a passport which have some stamps on ?

Previously they made their own copies and I only submitted the originals if I recall ?

I would suggest the last 6 months bank statements.

If applying via the Settlement Checking Service then they will photocopy all supporting documents and return the originals.

If applying by post you will need to photocopy any document which you cannot provide the original of, and certify that the photocopy is a true copy; but you must include the original passports.

If applying in person, then take the originals with you. They'll be returned when the decision has been made.

I also thought it used to state 6 months but now I can't find any time period specifically mentioned.

Also they are now asking for the applicant to provide the originals of any documents and a set of photocopies for their use.

We supplied 3 months statements on Monday and that was OK

Thanks, we will submit 3 months then but also take along some earlier ones in case they are requested.

If applying by post you now have to provide photocopies, as well as originals, of any document you send
