Maintenance Funds Requirement - Entry Clearance from Pak

Post by hawkeye » Wed Jan 16, 2013 10:18 am

Hello readers,

I would like to re-confirm the amount to be maintained as Maintenance Funds if applying for Entry Clearance from Karachi, Pakistan. My understanding is as follows:

Main Applicant: £ 3,100/-
2 Dependants: £ 1,800 x 2 = £ 3,600/-

Total of £ 6,700/- to be maintained for 90 days at a regulated financial institution in Pakistan.

It seems a bit confusing at http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/sitec ... ce-changes so I want to ensure the amount before I start to maintain. It does not specifically mention amount for Entry Clearance Application (Outside of UK).

I would be maintaining in my GBP account in a Bank in Pakistan which I feel is better than maintaining in PKR account due to the foreign exchange uncertainty.

Regards

What is your doubt? You have confirmed the amounts and those amounts comply with the amounts in the link, and you are applying after the date when those new prices were introduced. There is no confusion.

thank you for your reply. I was not sure of the maintenance amount for the dependants applying outside of UK since the above UKBA link only says the following:

Dependents of Tier 1 applicants who have been in the UK for less than 12 months - £1,800

Dependents of Tier 1 applicants - all other applications - £600

Now which one would apply for applications outside of UK.
