As of 13 August 2026, AI can only partly prepare financial evidence for a UK visa.

What to actually do

1. Hand it to a person

   The route this page recommends

   A person who owns the outcome does this end to end, worth it when the failure is dear.

2. Use a tool built for this

   Second choice

3. Do it yourself

   The distant third

   A chat interface, chat-fluent skill, and roughly 30 minutes until you can act on the result.

   How to actually do it

   1. Open the current GOV.UK page for your exact visa route and save the sections covering financial requirements, accepted documents, translations and validity periods.
   2. Gather the financial documents named by that guidance, such as bank statements, payslips, employment letters, tax records or sponsor evidence, and label each file with its date and account or issuer.
   3. Remove unnecessary personal information from copies before uploading them to an AI tool, including full account numbers, passwords, security answers and unrelated transactions.
   4. Paste the GOV.UK requirements and the documents or relevant excerpts into the prompt, stating which file each excerpt came from and preserving dates and figures exactly.
   5. Ask the AI to produce the checklist, evidence map, missing-items list and evidence index, then compare every requirement and deadline in its output against the GOV.UK page you opened.
   6. Check every extracted figure, date, account holder, name spelling and transaction explanation against the original documents, and correct the evidence index where the AI has misread or omitted anything.
   7. Ask an immigration solicitor or regulated immigration adviser to assess the application if your income is variable, your documents cover an unusual period, a sponsor is involved, or any requirement remains unclear.
   8. Upload only the final documents required by the official application process and keep copies of the submitted evidence and your source documents.

   Prompt

   I am preparing financial evidence for a UK visa application. My visa route is [visa route], my role in the application is [applicant or sponsor], and the relevant relationship or employment details are [brief facts].
   
   Use only the documents and facts I provide. Do not invent figures, dates, transactions, employers, savings histories or explanations. Do not decide that I qualify and do not give legal advice.
   
   First, identify the financial evidence requirements from the current GOV.UK guidance for this exact visa route. Quote or link to the relevant GOV.UK pages and flag anything you cannot confirm. Then create:
   1. a document checklist showing the document, required period, account holder or issuer, currency, and any translation or certification issue;
   2. a table matching each requirement to the document that supports it;
   3. a list of missing, inconsistent or unclear items, with the exact question I need to resolve;
   4. a chronological evidence index I can use when uploading files; and
   5. a short factual cover note that explains the evidence without making claims not proved by the documents.
   
   Treat bank statements, payslips, tax documents, savings evidence and sponsor documents separately. Do not calculate eligibility unless the calculation is directly supported by the current GOV.UK guidance and the figures I provide. Show every calculation and identify the source document. Tell me which points I must confirm with an immigration solicitor or regulated immigration adviser before submitting.
