What actually goes wrong
Six months means six months
UKVI reads bank statements as a continuous run. If your bank hands you one twelve-month PDF, split it by month first and drop the six you need into this pack. The assembled bundle keeps them in date order.
Nothing needs to be certified
Standard Visitor applications take plain scans. Save the notarisation budget for settlement routes that actually require it.
Translate anything not in English or Welsh
A document in another language needs a certified translation attached to it. Keep the original and its translation adjacent in the bundle so the caseworker doesn't have to hunt.

UK Standard Visitor Visa questions
Does UKVI accept one merged PDF?
The online service asks for documents one at a time against named slots, so this pack outputs numbered separate files that map to those slots. If you're emailing a sponsor or an agent instead, switch the output to a single merged PDF before you build.
How large can each file be?
The upload form is strict: roughly 6 MB per file and a small set of accepted types. The builder flags any file over the ceiling before you download so you can compress it first.
One folder in, one submission out
The UK Standard Visitor Visa checklist is free to read above. Pro matches your documents to it and assembles the bundle.
