Frequently Asked Questions

Source of Funds (SOF) is documented evidence demonstrating the legitimate origin of the money you or your sponsors are using for international study, migration, or travel. Embassies (such as Australian Home Affairs, IRCC Canada, or UKVI) reject thousands of applications annually because funds appear suddenly without an auditable paper trail. We organize bank histories, asset sale deeds, agricultural income books, and tax returns into a clear, embassy-compliant narrative.

We prepare comprehensive document packages for Australia, Canada, the United Kingdom, New Zealand, Ireland, Malta, Latvia, Portugal, Germany, France, and other European Schengen member nations. Every dossier is customized to the specific evidentiary standards of the relevant visa subclass.

Before foreign embassies accept Sri Lankan birth, marriage, educational, or police clearance certificates, they must be attested by the Consular Affairs Division of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) in Colombo. We advise you on the exact prerequisite endorsements required (such as Department of Examinations or Department of Registrar General stamps) and assist you with the entire authentication workflow.

Client privacy is paramount at SNK Documents & Secretarial Services. All bank records, national identity details, deeds, and personal correspondence are handled under strict confidentiality protocols. Documents are used solely for the preparation of your designated file and are never shared with any unauthorized third parties.

Standard certified translations are completed within 24 to 48 hours. Comprehensive Source of Funds dossiers and full visa supporting documentation usually require 3 to 5 business days depending on complexity and number of sponsors. If you have an imminent intake deadline, we also provide priority 24-hour fast-track options.

Yes. All translations from Sinhala or Tamil into English are executed by certified Sworn Translators appointed by the Ministry of Justice Sri Lanka, bearing their official seal and registration credentials. We also coordinate Notary Public attestations where mandatory.

No legitimate consultancy can guarantee a visa, as final adjudication rests entirely with the immigration case officer of the respective foreign government. However, we maximize your chances of success by making sure your documentation has zero discrepancies, complies 100% with consular criteria, and presents your background in the strongest, most coherent manner possible.
