what I am on about is they wanted witnesses, my wife's parents, the village boss. My passport certified by the Embassy. Pretty easy to understand what I said. Not worth the hassle to me.
you need a 12 month statement that will have all your transactions on them. That is what I used. They will not give you a statement with just deposits on them. I just did it last month.
Yes, but there were stories of people getting one dental appointment or a two week cooking class which is kind of ridiculous. But if they are approved by the Embassy okay. I just see them tightening the rules eventually.
