I am still unclear about the POF....does bank FD's and deposts count as POF on landing or only cash and traveler's cheques are considered as proof of funds??
Hello Vikrant.
There are only 2 things you'll really need for POF:
- Bank Letter
- Bank Statements (6 months)
You can request the former from your bank via online chat / phone call. Normally they'll arrange to have it sent to you, depending on when you need it. You may need to pay them a small fee for expedited delivery.
You should download and print your bank statements just in case since the letter may not reflect your monthly average balance across 6 months.
* Footnote :- They don't always ask for POF. In my case, I was only asked how much cash I was bringing in and how much I'd have access to during my stay. They didn't ask me for any supporting documentation even though I was prepared to present it.
Best,
