Ca4fil,
You need £800 for yourself for three months and £1600 for your spouse for 3 months. Total £2400 and the balance MUST never have been below that not even on a single line on your statements. Remember the month you apply does nut count. They start from the previous month even if you apply on the 31st day of the month.

Hi Faisal,

See the link for details. http://www.ukvisas.gov.uk/en/howtoapply ... nt#8404072

Since you have been living in this country for the past 5 years, therefore you only need to show £533 for each dependent.

Hope this was helpful.

munisa,

I beg to differ. Read his post carefully - it says I have been in the UK for the last 5 years. Therefore - he only needs to maintain £533 for each dependent.

I think not. As per the guidance notes - if you have been in this country for more than 12 months - you need to maintain £533; regardless of your visa category (visit visa excluded of course). However, if anyone in the know thinks otherwise - please shout.
