Does the deposit certificate require that the deposit date must exceed 3 months when applying for a British chef visa?

If the embassy (or consulate) requires a deposit certificate when applying for a visa, the visa applicant must show the deposit certificate issued by the bank. The deposit certificate can be issued by Bank of China or Industrial and Commercial Bank of China (some countries may have recommended banks, but there is no restriction). Usually, the deposit certificate used for visas is frozen for at least 3 months from the date of issuance, and most deposit requirements of different countries and different natures are frozen for 3 to 24 months. When the time comes, if you are already abroad, you can ask your family to take out your deposit after it is thawed. Three months means that the funds are frozen for three months from the date of handling the deposit certificate.

Take the certificate of deposit of China Bank as an example:

You need to issue a deposit certificate for studying abroad at your own expense, applying for foreign immigration, visiting relatives, traveling abroad and other reasons.

You can open multiple certificates of deposit as required, and each certificate of deposit will be charged a handling fee of RMB 20 yuan.

You can choose the number of freezing days according to your needs, and the shortest freezing period is one day (the date when the deposit certificate is issued).

3. If your deposit certificate has not reached the freezing expiration date, but you want to unfreeze the deposit in advance, you must return all the deposit certificates related to the request to freeze the account to the bank.
