Headline

The entire content of Appendix E has been reformatted from numbered paragraphs to bullet points, with no changes to the substantive maintenance fund requirements for Tier 1 (Entrepreneur) dependants.

Changes in detail

  1. Formatting change across all paragraphs — All numbered paragraph markers "(aa)", "(ab)", "(a)" through "(q)" have been converted to bullet point format "- (aa)", "- (ab)", "- (a)" through "- (q)". The actual text content of all 26 provisions remains identical.

  2. Whitespace removal — One blank line has been removed from the beginning of the document.

Practical implications

None. This is purely a formatting change that does not affect any substantive requirements for maintenance funds, eligibility criteria, evidential thresholds, or application processes. Practitioners can continue to apply the same interpretation and advice regarding the £1,890 maintenance fund requirement and 90-day availability period for Tier 1 (Entrepreneur) dependants.

Administrative changes

The entire change represents administrative formatting only — converting numbered paragraphs to bullet points and removing excess whitespace. All substantive content including the £1,890 fund requirement, 90-day holding period, and evidential requirements under paragraph 1B of Appendix C remain unchanged.
