Standard Visit Visa for my parents without sponsoring

Hi,

I am inviting my parents to UK for short visit (1 Month max). They are living in India.Both are retired and pension holders. I and my wife are Brits. We are applying Standard Visitor Visa for both of them. I am not sure what document should I affix with their application?

As I am inviting them, They will stay with me during the visit in UK. But they will afford their expenses during their visit here.

I hope I should attach from my side

1. Invitation Letter
2. Rental Agreement
3. Council Tax Bill

Do I need attach my bank account and payslips too though I am not a sponsor?

As my parents can afford their expenses, would it be sufficient show £2000 (GBP) equivalent currency in India on my parents bank account?

1. Six month Bank statements (Both contains GPB 2000 equivalent for each of them )
2. Six month Bank Statements that show pension credit
3. Rental Agreements (But we don't have bank statements to prove the rental agreement credit. because all rent paid in cash).
4. They both have personal saving in fixed deposit. The copy of fixed deposit or bank statement for fixed deposit will also be attached.


Would much appreciated if you are able to answer my queries.

Fixed deposits will be disregarded by UKVI. The funds must be liquid and immediately accessible. There have been a few refusals for this reason and FDs being disregarded.

Thanks CR001. We are not going to include fixed deposit for income proof or fund available for trip.
