subject: Confused About UK Visa Finances? Here's What I Learned [print this page]
Hey everyone,
I’ve been researching UK tourist visas for a while now, and one thing that keeps coming up is the financial requirement. A lot of people seem unsure about how much money they actually need to show in their bank account, so I thought I’d share some helpful information that might clear things up.
From what I’ve gathered, there isn’t an officially fixed amount for the minimum bank balance for UK tourist visa from India, but UKVI mainly checks if you have enough funds to cover your stay, flights, accommodation, and daily expenses—without depending on anyone else. Most travelers who applied recently mentioned showing anywhere between ₹2,00,000 to ₹4,00,000 in their savings account, depending on the duration of their trip.
A few more useful points people often overlook:
Maintain a steady balance for at least 3–6 months. Sudden large deposits can raise questions.
Show supporting documents like salary slips, ITR, FDs, or investments to prove financial stability.
If someone else is sponsoring you, provide a sponsorship letter, their bank statements, and proof of relationship.
For solo travelers, showing a bit more balance adds credibility.
Hopefully this helps anyone who is preparing their documents. If anyone has applied recently and can share their experience, it would be super valuable for others too!
