Tier 1 (General)
Personal bank statements
This page explains the requirements for personal bank statements that you send to support your application to the highly skilled worker category (Tier 1 General) under the points-based system to work in the United Kingdom.
Full details of all requirements are in the immigration rules at paragraphs 245A-G of part 6A, and Appendix A, which you can find on the right of this page. You must read the policy guidance before you apply under this category. You can download the guidance and application form from the Applying section.
What the bank statements must show
Bank statements you send must be on official bank stationery, and must show each of the payments that you are claiming. If you wish to send electronic bank statements from an online account you should also send a supporting letter from the bank on company headed paper confirming that the documents are authentic. Alternatively, electronic bank statements with the official stamp of the bank that issued the statements will be accepted. The stamp must appear on every page of the statement.
