What documents do I need to provide to prove the source of funds if I haven’t had access to the investment money for two years?

Under the new rules of Tier 1 Investor visa of the U.K., investors are required to prove that they have had control over the investment funds for at least two years prior to the submission of their applications. Is there a way to get around this requirement? If so, what documents do I need to provide to prove the source of funds?

    If you have not held the investment funds for two years, you will have to provide evidence of the source of funds. Where did the funds originate from? The Home Office will contact the person or organization to verify where the funds came from and whether it is genuine. If the funds were a gift, you need to get a legalized gift letter. If the funds are from the sales of assets, like a company or property, you will have to provide evidence that you originally owned that asset and the sales of the asset were correctly and legally processed. These are the classic ways investors generally demonstrate the route to their investment: * gift; * deeds of sale; * evidence from a business; * will; * divorce settlement; or * award or winning Documents to provide will all depend how you demonstrate source of funds.
