How to Show Proof of Funds for a Student Visa: A 2026 Guide for Bangladeshi Parents & Sponsors

1. Prepare Your Documents

Double-check that you have:

  • Original passport (valid for 3+ months beyond your stay)
  • Printed appointment confirmation (from VFS/consulate)
  • Completed ST1 form (signed and dated)
  • All supporting documents (acceptance letter, IELTS/TOEFL certificate, etc.) in organized, labeled copies

2. Attend Your Biometrics Session

This process will happen when you book your appointment in the VFS Global Center or the Danish consulate. Here, your fingerprints and photo will be taken. Also, your documents will be verified. This process can take 30 to 40 minutes.

3. Next Steps While You Wait

Track application

You can start tracking your application immediately after your biometric process. To check the application tracking, you need to use your case order ID in SIRI’s portal. 

Prepare for the Interview

You can start preparing for the interview 1-2 weeks before the interview day. You can practice some common questions regarding your university, programs, and Denmark. 

Monitor email

You need to check your email regularly to avoid missing any updates. 

4. Visa Interview

Your application now moves to the interview phase. Make sure you remember the following things:

Interview timing: Typically scheduled after biometrics (varies by country).

What to bring: The same documents, along with any new updated documents.

What to expect:

The interview may involve questions such as:

  • Why did you choose Denmark and your specific course/university?
  • How do your studies align with your long-term career goals?
  • Who is funding your education, and can you prove it?
  • Do you plan to return to your home country after graduation?

How to Prepare:

  • Be Honest: Provide clear and genuine answers.
  • Stay Confident: Practice responses to common interview questions.
  • Stay Organized: Bring your documents in a well-arranged file for easy access.

The interview is generally conducted in English, depending on your course language. A successful interview significantly boosts your chances of approval.
