Show Money Sri Lanka has arranged bank-verified visa funds for Sri Lankan applicants for over 10 years — 1,000+ visas approved across Australia, Canada, the UK, the US and Schengen. Funds in your own name, at a licensed bank, with documentation the embassy can verify.
"Show money" is the balance an embassy wants to see before it believes you can pay your own way. An agent's job is not to hand you a number — it is to produce financial evidence a visa officer can pick up the phone and confirm.
A show money agent places the required funds into a fixed deposit or savings account in your name at a Central Bank of Sri Lanka licensed bank, at the exact figure your embassy asks for.
A balance nobody will confirm is worthless. The agent obtains the stamped bank confirmation letter and statements the visa officer can verify directly with the branch.
Every embassy asks where the money came from. A competent agent documents the origin — property, business income, salary, inheritance — so a sudden large deposit does not read as borrowed money.
Australia, Canada, the UK and Schengen states each define acceptable funds differently — held for how long, in whose name, in what account type. The agent applies the right rule to your file.
Most missions want funds seasoned for a set number of months. An agent plans the hold period backwards from your appointment date instead of leaving you short.
If the embassy raises a query or requests further evidence weeks later, you need the same agent to still answer the phone and produce the follow-up paperwork.

Anyone can advertise this service. Very few can produce documents that survive an embassy's verification call. Run any agent — including us — through these seven checks before you pay.
Look for a registered business with a physical address, a website that is actually theirs, and a Google Business Profile you can find on Maps. An agent operating only from a social media page is impossible to hold to anything.
The money must sit in an account belonging to you. If an agent offers to show their own account balance as yours, that is misrepresentation to the embassy and the consequences land on your application, not theirs.
Ask which bank before you pay anything. A straight answer — and one of the established licensed commercial banks — is the baseline. Vagueness here is the clearest warning sign there is.
Amount, bank, hold period, fee, and what happens if your visa is refused should all be on paper before money changes hands.
No agent can guarantee a visa. Anyone promising approval is selling you something they do not control. What a good agent guarantees is documentation the embassy can verify.
The agent who handles Australian student visas every week knows the Confirmation of Enrolment maths. Ask directly how many files they have done for your country and visa type.
Read the reviews on Google Maps, not only the ones the agent has copied onto their own page. Look for detail — country, visa type, timeline — rather than one-line praise.
Registered office at Jana Jaya City Mall, Sri Jayawardenepura Kotte, with a verified Google Business Profile, a working landline-hours phone line and this website. You can visit us.
We work through Central Bank of Sri Lanka licensed commercial banks and tell you which one before you commit. Compare the options on our bank guide.
Fund thresholds, maturity periods and account rules differ by destination. See the requirement for yours on the country pages or by visa type.
We build the paper trail behind the balance — property, business income, salary, sponsorship — because an unexplained deposit is the single most common reason financial evidence fails.
Once your documents are in order, the arrangement itself typically completes within a day. Plan the maturity period with the visa timeline planner.
If the embassy comes back with a query weeks later, the same team answers and produces the follow-up evidence. That continuity is the difference between an agent and a middleman.
We arrange funds nationwide and can meet you at your own bank branch. Find the details for your city:
A show money agent arranges the bank funds and financial documentation a Sri Lankan visa applicant needs to prove they can support themselves abroad. The agent places the required amount in a fixed deposit or savings account in the applicant's name at a licensed bank, obtains the bank confirmation letter and statements, and prepares the supporting source of funds paperwork the embassy expects.
Arranging genuine funds in your own account through a licensed bank is legal. What is not acceptable is submitting fabricated statements, forged bank letters, or a balance held in someone else's name presented as your own. Choose an agent whose documents the embassy can verify directly with the bank.
Fees are normally charged as a percentage of the amount arranged and vary with how long the funds must be held. Ask for the total cost in writing — the arrangement fee, any bank charges, and the fee for source of funds documentation — before you commit.
A genuine agent has a registered business address you can visit, a findable Google Business Profile, names the bank before you pay, puts the terms in writing, holds the funds in your name, and never guarantees a visa approval.
A standard arrangement can be completed within 24 hours once your documents are in order. The constraint is usually not the agent but the maturity period your destination country requires — many embassies want the funds held for three to six months before the application, so start early.
We do. Show Money Sri Lanka arranges bank-verified funds nationwide, working with branches in Kandy, Galle, Jaffna, Negombo, Kurunegala, Matara, Batticaloa and every other major city, and can meet applicants at their own bank.
Yes. A refusal on financial grounds usually points to a specific defect — insufficient maturity, an unexplained deposit, or a missing source of funds trail. Bring the refusal letter and we will rebuild the financial evidence to address the exact ground cited before you reapply.
Tell us your destination country, visa type and appointment date. We'll confirm the exact amount you need, the bank, and how long the funds must be held — free, before you commit to anything.
