Apply from here https://www.gov.uk/standard-visitor/app ... sitor-visa
No documents needed from your brother if you will pay for the entire visit and you can demonstrate your capability to cover the cost through bank statement. If your brother will sponsor your visit, you will need his passport copy, invitation letter and bank statement.

Thank you very much for your reply

Can you please let me how much minimum funds should be available in my brother account if he sponsors me
Does he need to buy 2 way flights tickets for me as well?
Hotel booking etc?

If he is sponsoring me do I need to submit my bank statement also?

Thank you

You will be asked an estimate of how much you are going to spend for your visit (flights, food, accommodation, travel, etc.) on the application form. Put a realistic value there, for example, £X. Let's assume your brother would spend £Y for himself and his family during your visit. Then your brother's account must have a balance of £ (X+Y), and the more the better of course.

He does not have to book flight tickets and hotel for you before the visa application.

Your statement would be not necessary in that case.
