financial statement.

I'm facing a situation where my father who were going to be my sponsor doesn't want to provide his detailed bank statement with all his daily expenses, Mentioning it's privacy invasion. He said he provide the balance only.

I believe it won't help.

Any suggestions?

My bank just game me the document with my monthly cash flow. It was enough for embassy. The transactions aren’t displayed, only amount of money my account receives and loses. And, of course, there was bank details in case the embassy would like to verify it

It depends what embassy you're applying with. I personally sent a screenshot of my bank balance from my banking app with my DTV application in Australia. I didn't provide anything further for the financial side of things and I was accepted. You will find Hanoi for instance, is more strict and requires 3-6 months of holding that balance and records.

Tell him to stop living in the past and provide the info, no one is bothered about his statements they look at them for a min or two. Either he wants to help you or not 🙄

Or maybe he can decide how he handles his affairs. If the OP doesn’t like it, they can save up their own money.

Upload his bank statement but block out the transaction history, if he’s ok with leaving the transaction amount visible, I believe you should be ok but not guaranteed

They usually want statements not just balances to prove it a ‘used’ account rather than something that’s been falsified

You might like to remind him that he’s providing the information to a govt dept not an FB group so privacy etc is a given
