FINANCIAL EVIDENCE:
1. 6 MONTH’S PAYSLIP
2. 3 months bank statement. This should highlight your income or salary. If you have a part time
job and it is also reflected in your bank account, please make sure that is legal. I have a part
time job and the account says SALARY and it is legal. Regardless of all these, please make sure
to highlight your income ONLY. Not the summary of your bills and shopping etc.
3. BANK STATEMENT:

that there is a tick or Y in your COS to say that the NHS or the Company will provide the
maintenance funds for you.
Example calculation :

You - or your partner or child - would need to have £600 to bring your partner and one child with you to
the UK (£285 for your partner and £315 for your child).
You would also need to have £1,270 available to support yourself for your own application.
