02 / In plain words

What Asset Statement means

The Asset Statement is a Vanuatu form. The main applicant shows their assets in it as dollar totals, without detailed breakdowns.

It goes in the source of funds set with the bank letter, a 6-month statement, a reference and a utility bill. The total must match the amount in the form and the statements.

Unproven source of funds is the second most common reason for refusal, so we check the figures before filing.

A simple example

An asset statement differed from a bank statement by a few thousand. We caught it before filing and fixed it - there were no questions.

05 / Key facts

Key facts

01What the form is

The main applicant's asset report

The Asset Statement is a Vanuatu form in which the main applicant declares their assets. It is part of the source of funds set.

02Format

Dollar totals, no breakdowns

There is no need to itemise each asset. Totals in US dollars are enough; the form does not ask for detailed breakdowns.

03Matching figures

Total matches the form and bank statements

The amount must agree with the application form and the 6-month bank statement. We reconcile the figures before filing so a mismatch does not raise questions.

04Source of funds set

Asset report, bank letter, 6-month statement, reference, bill

The Asset Statement is filed with a bank letter, a 6-month bank statement, a professional reference and a utility bill.

Common mistakes

The statement does not match the bank statements

Before filing, check the total against the bank statements and the amount in the form. Even a gap of a few thousand dollars raises questions.

Large unexplained deposits shortly before filing

Attach documents showing where the money came from. Unproven source of funds is a common reason for refusal.

Itemising every asset instead of totals

Give dollar totals. The form does not require breakdowns, and they only make reconciliation with the statements harder.
