Sponsor document - Bank letter - validity

[RituJay]

Hi,
My mother-in-law is planning to apply for visitor's visa and i will be sponsoring her. There are couple of documents which i need to send, one of which is the Bank letter (Letter from the bank stating the date account was opened, amount deposited in the last year, average balance, etc). I will get this letter from the bank by this week but it will take some time for my mother-in-law to arrange her documents. Can anyone tell till how much time, from this week, the bank letter will be considered as a valid document? Can this letter be used after 2-3 months or its better to issue the letter later?

Regards,
Jaymin

It is not a mandatory requirement. They are interested in looking at your income and funds. You can show them by way of your tax returns
and a recent bank statement.
