Kenny123 Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 The application asks for settlement funds of $25,000 for the main applicant + 3 dependents. I'm currently living here, but I do not have that amount. Am I able to borrow funds of people to show, or do they check this? Could this risk my visa application?

Lavers Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 Hi Kenny I got approved for state sponsorship from SA 5wks ago and they never asked for proof of funds. Which state are you applying for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lavers Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 I know all states are different with there criteria and what they check. If you live in aus already though I don't see why they would want proof, it's not like you have relocation costs and starting a fresh.

path2aus Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 If you are already here, you can probably show that you are working with the pay slips etc...I don't think the funds is valid for people who are already here in Australia. I may be wrong but someone else can clarify. Do you ask for proof? Like Lavers said above, I had applied for SA as well and was not asked for any proof of funds.

Lavers Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 I think it does show a figure for settlement even if you are in aus, it is just lower than if you wasnt. It seems daft though as you are already settled in a job etc so why would you need funds to settle? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
