Hello, my cousin will be applying for his visa soon. To justify the financial resources, I asked my bank, Crédit Agricole France, to issue me a certificate of irrevocable transfer: €615 over 12 months in his name. Is this document from a French bank accepted? It will be set up on a current account. Should other documents be added in addition to the AVI? Thank you for your feedback.
@Andrew Hello, my cousin will be submitting his visa soon. To justify financial resources, I asked my bank, Crédit Agricole France, to issue me a certificate of irrevocable transfer: €615 over 12 months in his name. Is this document from a French bank accepted? It will be set up on a current account. Should other documents be added in addition to the AVI? Thank you for your feedback. I haven’t blocked the money.
Where does he intend to apply? Depending on the city and country, the required documents may vary.
However, has the bank already agreed to issue you this AVI? I ask because I’ve received several reports that French banks refuse to issue an AVI. Normally, it’s a special product. If so, you should also check the wording used by the bank and ensure it meets the three criteria we have provided for a good Attestation de Virement Irrévocable.
Best regards.
Hello Andrew, My cousin will apply in Togo, the bank has agreed to do AVI, I am waiting for their response for now. Can you confirm if AVI alone is sufficient? Thank you.
Hello, please in the same vein can we have a blocked account in France? Deposit money in a French bank and obtain an AVI from it?
No, you must create your account blocked in your country of residence.
