Spouse Visa Bank Statement Question

[scooterdad69]

Hi, me and my wife are applying for the spouse visa in the UK, she is from Thailand. I'm listing myself as her sponsor, my gross pay per year is £19,239 but the problem is the NET amount I get paid weekly is £300 into my bank account and £20 cash.

I have 6 months payslips with the companies name on them, my P60 and a signed letter from my employer explaining that I get paid part cash. The problem is on my bank statement it only shows £300 Net pay per week but each deposit states "Part Wage" on the printed statement.

Would this be sufficient evidence? or is it better to just get paid the full amount into my account and wait 6 months to get the bank statements? Or even if I got just 1 month with the full amount into my bank?

We already got rejected once before because we only supplied 1 months pay-slip and my P60 and I didn't get an explanation from my employer, so we're being extra cautious this time.. however the thought of waiting 6 more months after waiting so long already seems brutal..

Any help is greatly appreciated

Your part wages in cash must be deposited in bank account in full otherwise it won't be considered. You need 6 months of payslips with corresponding bank statements along with recent employer letter if you are working for same employer from 6 months. Don't attach p60 as it doesn't show correctly the wages figures for visa purposes.

Hi, so I'm both Employed and Self-Employed.. I meet the financial requirement for the UK Spouse visa just using my employed salary, I've heard it can be a headache with all the paperwork needed to use self-employed pay to meet the financial requirement.

So my question is, do I have to submit the paperwork for my self-employed work for the visa even if I'm not using that wage for the sponsorship??

No. If your employment income meets the requirements you can apply just using that to avoid dealing with the hassle of all the paperwork required for self-employment income.
