so I’d have to move the cash from there to my main account with Barclays? Wouldn’t it look suspicious just moving a wad of cash specifically for the visa purposes? I remember when I applied for my working holiday visa in Japan, they queried why I had a transfer in that brought me up to the amount needed for the visa application.
that’s unfortunate. So if I sold the index funds and kept the cash in the same Vangusrd S&S ISA bank account, I’m assuming that would be better. It’s a bank account and that’s then cash. Sucks though, because I don’t keep my money in liquid funds so it can rot with inflation, but long term invest it as one should.
