In Bangladesh, many people need to provide a valuation of their assets to meet visa requirements. This is also known as property valuation for visas.

The qualified valuers determine the monetary value of a property whether it is a residential property, commercial or industrial property. Whilst evaluating the net worth of the property, the valuers take into consideration myriads of factors such as location of the property, its size, present condition, amenities it has, market demands, and recent sale of similar properties in the neighborhood.

Why is Asset valuation certificate in Bangladesh is important?

When an applicant applies for a visa, let’s say for study or investment purposes, he has to show that he is financially solvent and could afford his tuition fees or make investments in that country without difficulties. In that scenario he has to show both liquid assets and illiquid or non-liquid assets. To answer why asset valuation is important for visa purposes, are given below:

  1. It reveals the actual financial stability of the applicant: The applicant has to show his current financial condition to the immigration authority. A meticulous asset valuation portrays a clear picture of the applicant’s financial stability, which in turn showcases his capability to cover his own expenses, and his dependents if they are accompanying him to the host country.
  2. Conformity with the immigration rules: Most of the western countries like the USA, Canada, Australia and the countries in Europe have set out a specific financial threshold which the applicant has to meet for his application to qualify for the visa. The reason to put a financial threshold is to prevent the immigrants from relying on public funds.
  3. Expedited visa processing: Most of the visa application refusals occur due to mistaken or negligent representation of financial condition of the applicant. The Immigration authority takes reasonable times to consider each of the applications, and if the applicant submits ambiguous and inaccurate financial statements including asset valuation, it causes further delays rendering the application being rejected.
  4. Investor and Entrepreneur visa: For these types of visas, the immigration authority demands the proof of total net worth of the applicant. An accurate and meticulous asset valuation provides extra support in securing the visa.
  5. Family Reunification visa: Applicant who wishes to bring his family to the host country must demonstrate a sound financial stability to support his dependents financially. The valuation portrays a clear and transparent picture of the applicant’s capability to cover the expenses.
