Every year, thousands of Nigerians require Proof of Fund (POF) for different purposes — from studying abroad, securing immigration visas, to winning business contracts and tenders.
In all these cases, you must provide verifiable financial evidence that you have the required funds. But the process can be stressful, confusing, and time-sensitive.
That's where POF NG comes in. We provide legitimate, verifiable Proof of Fund and investment certificate documents tailored to your specific needs:
When planning your relocation or travel from Nigeria, understanding the exact financial requirement for your specific visa type is the most critical step. Embassies do not guess; they have strict, mathematical formulas for how much money you must show and exactly how long that money must sit in your account.
Whether you are applying for a study permit, a visitor visa, a skilled worker visa, or a family sponsorship route, we have compiled the ultimate 2026 Proof of Funds Requirement Table for Nigerian applicants.
Need a verifiable commercial bank statement to meet these requirements? We provide secure funding up to ₦500 Million. Call: 08103669924 | WhatsApp: Chat with Proof of Fund NG instantly

Why the Duration of Your Statement Matters
Chat us Via Whatsapp to Get up to ₦500 million Proof of fund Today.
Whether you are applying for studentship, business deals, contracts, student visas, and immigration, we can fund you.
As you can see in the table, almost every country requires a 3 to 6-month statement, except the UK, which enforces a strict 28-day rule for students and skilled workers.
This duration is how embassies spot "funds dumping." If you are applying to Canada (which requires a 4 to 6-month statement) and your account suddenly inflates by ₦48 Million just one week before your interview, the visa officer will instantly reject your application for financial misrepresentation.
To satisfy the duration rules, your funds must either:
- Mature naturally over the required timeframe.
- Be accompanied by a legally binding Deed of Gift explaining the sudden deposit.
- Be managed through a structured, professional Proof of Funds service.
What Type of Bank Account is Accepted?
No matter which country or visa type you choose from the table above, the rule for Nigerian applicants remains identical: You must use a recognized Tier-1 commercial bank.
Embassies routinely reject statements from microfinance banks or digital wallets (like OPay or Palmpay) because they struggle to verify the funds internationally. To be safe, always use banks like Zenith, Globus, Parallex, or GTB.
Stop risking your Visa with insufficient funds! Proof of Fund NG provides 100% verifiable bank statements from recognized commercial banks. Call: 08103669924 | WhatsApp: Message us now
