I intend to apply for a UK visitors visa in order to sit a professional exam next month. However, I've got some queries as regards financing.
My mum paid about 300k into my account last month to help me with the trip. She gave me an additional 800k around the same period, which I did not pay directly into my account but put it in a short term (30-day) investment with a reputable investment firm.
I intend to liquidate 500k out of this to fund the trip, this money will be paid into my account in a few days, and I need to apply for the visa in a week or two so that I will not miss the exam deadline.
I had intended to state that the 800k was an accumulation of monthly investments from my salary over the past 1 year. I have large deductions that can support this in my bank statement because I mostly transfer half of my income to mobile wallets for my transactions. I also intended to attach the investment certificates of the initial 800k and the 300k balance which I intend to reinvest.

My bank statement over the past 6 months shows regular inflow and outflow. But my balance will be made up largely of these two deposits with a little addition.

How do I explain the 300k paid into my account by mum?

Can I simply state that it was a gift from her to help with my trip?

Do I have to show proof of how my mum got the funds?

Will paying this money into my account so close to my application raise a red flag?

Is attaching the two investment certificates enough to show proof of the 500k deposit?

Thank you. Funny how you detected it was for PLAB

There’s someone here on the other thread for tier4 with very similar scenario.

Write a cover letter explaining that the deposit is her support for you towards the professional exam. She could also write an introduction in support of your application. If you have a birth certificate to proof she’s ur mum it’s even better. Data page of her international passport too might be needed.

You don’t need to show her source of income as she’s not the applicant

Since u have certificates to back it up, u shld mention it in the cover letter and make reference to the certificates

Good luck

BTW I think it’s high time we created a thread for PLAB exams and visa issues (if there isn’t one already)
