Bank Statement Tips

Use a clean, active account

Embassies want to see regular deposits and withdrawals — not a dormant account that suddenly received money before your application.

3–6 months is the sweet spot

Most embassies want to see 3–6 months of statements. Start preparing your account at least 4 months before applying.

Rough minimum per destination

Schengen: ~GHS 15,000+. UK: ~GHS 20,000+. USA: ~GHS 30,000+. These are rough guides — the more consistent your balance, the better.

Don't stuff your account last-minute

A large sudden deposit right before your application is a red flag. Build your balance naturally over months instead.
