and its not much good a member of his family giving him £1000+ now and him putting it in his bank, because the embassy will be suspicious where the money has come from, better he gets some money each month off his family and lives on that and saves some of his wage.

or if a someone will lend him money for your visa and flight, so he doesn't have to pay for it, and he can save that money instead.

what about a little Loan from a bank or from Credit Card? We used a little loan from a bank long time ago to use as a show money
