Misinterpreted question on UK Visit Visa Form

Post by strgrdnd » Mon Apr 29, 2019 1:52 am

I plan to go to UK for business trip with my employer bearing all the expenses during the trip.

So, What to answer the following question :

how much money are you planning to spend on your visit to the UK?
Is this question asking how much money that will cost to me personally (which is 0, as I will be fully sponsored). Or is this just asking the estimation of cost for the whole trip (regardless who is paying).

I've already answered it with the estimation cost of the whole trip (which is significantly higher than total amount of money in my saving /bank! and it doesnt make sense that I could afford it). Since at first I assume this may also include the cost that will be funded by the sponsor.

Despite I have also detailed in the next following questions that there will be someone paying towards the cost of my visit,
will the officer still consider my answer on the planned spending as not making any senses and refused my application without any confirmation???

The latter. You are over-thinking it.
I do not give immigration advice. I refer you to Immigration Rules, guidance, other online content and to your sponsor.

Really? I am worrying as I found some applicants answer that with only the amount that they will spend on themself. ..

That will be fine too. They are not trying to trick you. It's just a way to check that the applicant is prepared for the costs of their visit. If a visitor is paying everything themselves, this would be an important question, but for someone like yourself it is fairly meaningless. That's why I say you may be over-thinking it.
