We are going to bear some expenses for sure. Like what?

3. Family in uk : do we need to add both of our details or just one is fine ? You both live at the same address, yeah? If yes, then 1 is fine.

4.Our details: Selecting have permanent resident in UK and asking passport details: is it ok to add indian passport number pls as we are on ilr ? Evidence of your ILR and passport.

5. Dates of travel : what happens if the dates change after the visa is granted .. will there be any issue? Nope, travel plans change all the time.


Thanks

Thanks for the response
The savings is something which can be moved across like fixed deposit and stuff.but is read somewhere some minimum amount per day to be shown...

How to show the evidence of ILR as the question asks just to enter passport number ? Or you mean add the share code of ILR as documents ?

We will be spending local tourism cost like tkts to london eye and so on..

thanks

How to show the evidence of ILR as the question asks just to enter passport number ? Or you mean add the share code of ILR as documents ? Add your passport and do a screenshot of your immigartion status to be attached. The HO don't need a share code to access your status! They own the database.

We will be spending local tourism cost like tkts to london eye and so on.. That's not exactly giving money. That sounds like just day to day stuff.
