Post by LaxmanBharose » Fri Mar 30, 2018 12:41 pm

Hi,

we are looking to sponsor my parents, my sister, and my in-laws from India to visit us in the summer.

is there any minimum bank balance i should show in my UK bank a/c for this and for how long should the sum be in the account?

Most importantly, EACH family member is required to show strong evidence of personal and economical ties to their home country, including documented proof that they are financially self-sufficient.

Applications from so many of your family at the same time is likely to raise concerns that they will overstay in the UK.

How long are they intending to visit?

Are you able to provide adequate accommodation for all 5 visitors?
