      It’s the same process. If you have watched the video to the end, you will find the answers.
      Just include your business registration documents in place of the employment letter or company introduction letter I talked about in the video.

    Hello Oto, thank you for this helpful video. I have a question, can I show a bank statement not regulated by the financial regulatory body in the country I'm appyling from? Most of my money is in a bank account in Panama, and I'm applying for UK visa from the Dominican Republic.

    • @thewakaholic
      @thewakaholic  6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I’m not aware of any rules that say you can’t. However, note that the embassy will have difficulties verifying the details in your bank account where it is from a 3rd party country.
      If they cannot verify and you do not meet other requirements, then it will adversely affect the outcome of your application.
      It is always best to err on the side of caution.
