UK Visa Refusal: Unexplained Large Deposits — How to Re-Apply

Fix UK visa refusals citing unexplained / large deposits (funds parking). Source-of-funds letters, statement formatting, and a re-application checklist.

What this refusal usually means

UK caseworkers often refuse when large credits appear shortly before application without a clear source (gift, sale, loan, salary arrears). Raw bank PDFs that bury the context make this worse.

3-step re-application fix

  1. Step 1

    Map every large credit

    List date, amount, and source (salary, property sale, family gift). Gather supporting proof for each.

  2. Step 2

    Format 6 months cleanly

    UK applications typically expect ~6 months of statements. Use visa format with UK destination for cover averages and readable tables.

  3. Step 3

    Attach a source-of-funds letter

    Our AI explanation letter (unlocked with Visa Ready/Pack) drafts neutral wording you can edit to match your evidence.

FAQ

No — never edit transactions. Explain the source with documents instead. Editing statements can be treated as deception.

Formatting tools and checklists only — not immigration or legal advice. Consulates make the final decision.
