I had applied twice for a UK visit visa in January for the purpose of sitting the PLAB 2 medical exam , but my applications were refused , though my cousin who is a consultant doctor in UK-NHS sponsored me for the visit.

The first refusal was because I didn't provide a bank statement, and the hotels that I booked were found to be cancelled ( I cancelled the bookings because my cousin advised to do so as he was more aware of better hotels ).

In the second application , I provided my bank statement. But however the application was refused again on the grounds that the statement contained only two transactions and didn't reflect my income and savings.

I am a doctor and live in Iraq . I receive my salary in cash like most governmental employees here. I have tried to make an active bank statement in the last 5 months with numerous cash transactions so that they can mimics my savings and expenditure.

I am looking forward to hearing assistance regarding this soon , it's really frustrating.

Kind regards

You should never try "manipulating" your account because the UK visa Offices can see right through that.

Instead, you should get a written, notarised and translated confirmation from your employer stating your position, your income, and the fact that you get it in cash.

I agree it seems very strange that you're spending 5.6 times your monthly income for a 25-day trip. You should definitely explain that to the visa Office, and also explain why your Hotel booking was cancelled, preferably with a notarised statement from your cousin.

And in the future: never modify any travel plans until you have the visa in your passport
