Irrevocable transfer certificate (AVI): your tuition funds secured
What is an irrevocable transfer certificate (AVI)
Generally speaking, an irrevocable transfer refers to a transaction or financial commitment that cannot be canceled or modified without the consent of all parties involved. It provides a high level of assurance due to the fixed transfer conditions that cannot be unilaterally modified. The Irrevocable Transfer Certificate commonly called AVI is a document issued by any bank or financial institution allowing proof of financial means to be provided to embassies and consular services for a student visa application.
