I have a really quick question: I will be taking a loan for the living expenses for Sweden. For the same, can i showcase the certificate from bank stating the sanctioned amount as proof of financials? As the disbursed amount would br lower thsn that anyway

[@MadeyeMoody492]

Hi, it's also mentioned that salaries can be used as another source of financial support. So for example, if I'm applying for a residence permit starting from September 1st and can prove I have a job contract until then, would those 4 months(assuming I apply today, 1st of May) of salary directly be added to my amount of financial support? As in, the amount I have to show in my personal bank account will be reduced. Thanks!

hi, if i am applying for a study permit to pursue a bachelors programme, am i required to show financial proof for all 4 years?

[@mirafmesfin933]

Hi there, if i don't have a scholarship and have to pay tuition fee, do i have to provide proof of financing my studies along with my living expenses. Meaning does my bank statement need to have 10,314×12months plus tuitions fee for the entire program? When applying for the permit?

[@ahmedfawaizat2894]

Yes

[@rahatmir7007]

If the residence permit is of 13 months, we would also be required to show proof of funds for those 13 months, correct?

[@StudyinSwedenOfficial]

Hej! Yes, that is correct - you have to show financial support for the entirety of your residence permit. /Fredrik, Study in Sweden

If my study period is two years in LU, do I need to provide the financial proof showing amount of SEK 10314*24 months？

[@StudyinSwedenOfficial]

Hej! You have to provide financial proof showing the length of your residence permit. So if you start with applying for a residence permit for 12 months, you only have to provide proof for 10314*12 months. When studying at some universities you may apply for a residence permit for longer than 13 months - but then you also have to provide financial proof for the entirety of your residence permit. /Fredrik, Study in Sweden

Hello, please how many months of bank statement is required to be shown. Thank you.

[@StudyinSwedenOfficial]

Hej! You have to provide finacial proof for the entirety of your residence permit length. So if you apply for 12 months residence permit, you have to show financial proof for 12 months. /Fredrik, Study in Sweden

Hey Arnold Owen, did you submit bank statement? And what was the duration of bank statement?

[@arnoldowen8093]

@@lifewithsarab8401 yea I did. The duration of the bank statement I submitted was 1month but it contains funds to cover for 13+ months

[@isabellamattson3459]

Do I need to submit a bank statement or is a screenshot of my account sufficient?
