UK visa FAQ

United Kingdom visa document questions

What is the 28-day rule for UK visa funds?

For many sponsored UK routes your maintenance funds must be held in an eligible account for at least 28 consecutive days, and the closing balance must be no older than 31 days on the date you apply. The checker flags a statement that breaks either window.

Do I need a TB test for a UK visa from my country?

If you are applying for a stay of more than six months and live in a country on the UK's TB-screening list, you must include a valid test certificate from an approved clinic. The checklist adds this item automatically based on your country of residence.

Will VisaCheck tell me why a UK visa is likely to be refused?

Yes. Each document is scored pass, warn or fail against the published requirement, with the specific shortfall named in plain English. If you have already been refused, the refusal analyser maps the officer's wording to the exact rule you missed.

VisaCheck checks your documents against published requirements. It does not guarantee visa approval — decisions are made by government officers who may consider additional factors. VisaCheck is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice. For complex cases, consult a qualified immigration adviser, and always confirm requirements on the official government source for your route before you submit.
