Wave + Visa Application: Complete Workflow
Preparing for visa application and using Wave? UK visa applications (Tier 1, Tier 2, spouse, student) require bank statements proving financial capability. The Home Office needs clear, organised financial evidence. BankScan AI bridges the gap between your bank's PDF statements and Wave's import feature.
BankScan AI → Wave for Visa Application
Convert bank statement PDFs to CSV formatted for Wave import. Convert your bank statements to structured Excel spreadsheets that clearly show your balance history, income sources, and regular savings — formatted for visa evidence bundles.
How It Works
Upload your bank statement PDF
Supports all major banks. Upload 6 months for most visa categories; 12 months for Innovator Founder and some ILR applications of statements.
AI formats for Wave
Output as CSV with Date, Description, Amount — Wave supports both single amount column and separate Income/Expense columns — dates in YYYY-MM-DD or MM/DD/YYYY.
Import and use for visa application
Upload into Wave and use the reconciled data for visa application.
Supported Banks
BankScan AI works with all major UK and US banks, including:
Wave + Visa Application Features
- Wave ready — Output formatted as CSV matching Wave's expected column structure
- Smart integration — Wave's invoicing is tightly coupled with bank imports — when you import a bank deposit, Wave suggests matching it to outstanding invoices automatically.
- Built for Visa Application — Convert your bank statements to structured Excel spreadsheets that clearly show your balance history, income sources, and regular savings — formatted for visa evidence bundles.
Import for Visa Application into Wave
After converting your bank statements for visa application:
- In Wave, go to Banking > Connected Accounts > Upload a bank statement (CSV)
- Select the file, map columns to Date, Description, and Amount, then import
Common Import Issues
Wave's free tier has occasional processing delays on large files. Also, Wave uses MM/DD/YYYY by default which conflicts with UK DD/MM/YYYY — select the correct format during import.
Wave Import for Visa Application
Statements must cover the period ending no more than 31 days before the visa application date; delays mean re-obtaining fresh statements
