pag assessment 3 daw kasi strict sila sa source ng money so kailangan much better is ung sponsor mo may work so they can provide necessary docs like Cert of employment itr and payslips. Yun nga rin ung mistake ko from the start sana papa ko na lang ung jinoint account ko sa bank kasi sya working na for like 30 years wala lang syang enough money sa bank coz he invested sa lands and new house. kaya di ko rin sya pwedeng sponsor. Pero kung jinoint ko sya before sa account ko much better.
Sponsor ko naman now is sister ko para may complete docs sya. Hopefully consider na rin nila both ung bank namen working naman ako as private lang walang mga tax so wala me itr and payslips.
advice ko sayo itransfer ung money sa family member na working na for long and with job til now. although not sure pa rin ako kasi they may ask kung san pa rin galing ung pera. kasi it will reflect sa bank na kakatransfer lang ng money. Di ko rin sure kung its allowed na loan from relative. kasi may nababasa din ako na meron silang acceptable institution for loan not sure if relative is allowed.
Pero un nga kung 573 ka no problem na sa source of funds di sila masyado strict compare sa 572 na assessment level 3.

Salamat boss @dreamprayhard84 pero ang problema lang po yung dating pinapasukan ng father ko na company matagal na nagsara and then after nun hindi na sya nakapag work.
Ano pa po ba ibang way para maconvince na may pera kami sa bank na ganun kalaki? Hindi po ba acceptable na nagbenta kami ng property?
Hi @Xine! Thank you sa info laking tulong

The most common sources of funds which may be acceptable for the purpose of assessing funds for student visa applications are:
• loans from financial institutions
• money deposits held with financial institutions
• Bank Loans from financial institutions
• Loans must be issued from a Financial Institute (FI)
•A loan "in principle" is not acceptable.
•A loan must generally be at least partially disbursed before a visa can be granted. If the bank does not disburse the loan before visa grant then it is open to you to use another bank (FI) that can meet your needs.
• Visa applicants are required to provide evidence of family's income available to repay the loan. This income must be held by an acceptable individual.
• Visa applicant must provide evidence of the collateral used to secure the loan. This collateral must be genuinely held by an acceptable individual.
• If collateral is made using funds other than regular income then the applicant must provide the trail of funds. For example, a sale deed can be provided as evidence if funds are obtained by sale of property. Please note that sale agreements are not acceptable. Only the registered sale deed is acceptable for visa purposes.
Non-acceptable funds
The following financial instruments may not meet the regulatory requirements and thus are not able to be considered for visa purposes.
• Credit card accounts
• Shares and mutual funds
• Gold and jewellery
• Bonds
• Life Insurance documents

uhm tapos may nabasa din ako di ko lang makita na narefuse ung visa dahil ung money is from selling a land. so much better pa rin talaga na ung sponsor mo is continous ung income na may work. kaya kung loan you need to prove to them na you can pay it
Visa applicants are required to provide evidence of family's income available to repay the loan. This income must be held by an acceptable individual.
nung first din kala ko basta may show money ka ok na lahat di rin pala kailangan may supporting docs ka pa din lalo na sa 572.
pero kung ayaw mo ng complicated na mga requirements like this pwede ka namang kumuha ng school na under SVP which is assessment level 1 so di na masyado strict sa mga financial requirements .
