Do I need to provide a bank statement for each family member if they join me?


Yes, if your family members (such as a spouse or dependent children) are joining you while you study abroad, you do need to provide financial proof for each family member as part of your visa application. This is a standard requirement for most countries, including the UK, Australia, Canada, and others.

Here’s how it works for popular study destinations:



---

United Kingdom


- UK Student Visa (Tier 4):
- You must show proof of funds for yourself and each dependent (spouse/child).
- For dependents: You need to show:
- London: £845 per month (up to 9 months) per dependent
- Outside London: £680 per month (up to 9 months) per dependent
- This financial evidence is usually provided in the form of a bank statement or a bank letter showing the required funds have been held for at least 28 consecutive days.

Australia


- Australian Student Visa (subclass 500):
- You must show evidence of funds to cover living costs for yourself and every accompanying family member.
