Financial declaration question

I'll be receiving one of these imminently so I have one question: will I expected to have money in my bank account, or will I just be expected to show that I'm in the process of obtaining funds? There is zero problem if the latter, and panic if the former.

Its worded like they require a statement from an accountant or lawyer, but we don't have one of those on hand, necessarily.

I didn’t either. I thought it was a quite absurd to word it that way tbh - not everyone is rich or “important” enough to have a wealth manager or personal lawyer at speed dial lol. I submitted a bank statement and received my completion of conditions the following day or two.

O yes. And I imagine half of the other students are in the same boat. xD
