If a Tier 2 dependent is applying outside of the UK, the amount that needs to be shown is 630 GBP for at least 90 days.

If the funds are in a currency other than GBP, the exchange rate will be calculated on: http://www.oanda.com/currency/converter/ on the the date of the application.

So be sure to maintain an equivalent of OVER 630 GBP if the funds are in a different currency. That way, fluctuating currency exchange rates won't cause your application to be denied.
