The UK Visas and Immigration Directorate publishes  that provides helpful tips that can result in successful visa applications. Section 2 of this guidance opens is entitled &quot;other documents you may want to provide&quot; (emphasis mine).  Section 2: other documents you may want to provide – all visitors This section provides guidance on the types of documents that you may want to provide to help us consider your application against the Immigration Rules. Previous travel documents/passports, which show previous travel. Financial documents showing that you have sufficient funds available.  These must clearly show that you have access to the funds, such as:  bank statements building society book proof of earnings such as a letter from employer confirming employment details (start date of employment, salary, role, company contact details) where a third party (who is either in the UK or will be legally in the UK at the time of your visit) is providing financial support to you e.g. a business, a friend or a relative, documents to show that they have sufficient resources to support you in addition to themselves and any dependant family should be provided   The first item is &quot;bank statements&quot; and this ties in with the , which says...  evidence that you can support yourself during your trip, eg bank statements or payslips from the last 6 months  (Note 'eg' is a Latin abbreviation meaning &quot;for example&quot;; this appears to be optional rather than a fixed requirement.) Question: How should someone interpret this such that the chances of success are maximized? How many statements should I submit? What are they looking for and what do my bank statements tell about me?

I'm married have a job with stable income.I have 2 kids. I have applied for UK visit visa about 7 years ago and was refused. I can't remember what exactly was the reason for refusal.  I want to travel for tourism to spend 9 days and my budget is around 1300GBP for the trip. I would be spending part of my annual leave in the UK. I have the following people in UK: Mother, Dad, Sister(she's married), Brother (married), Uncle and Aunt.  I'm travelling alone since my wife is pregnant. I haven't travelled since I was in school then.  I will be on my yearly 21 days annual leave during which I will be spending 9days in UK. I can't think of anything more about my circumstance.  So what should a cover letter look like?  secondly I have just 1 account where my salary is paid in monthly and my savings.I will be submitting the 6 months bank statement for the account.  Additional question:  In the income &amp; expenditure where one is asked to indicate if I have income and savings,should I click Yes or No. And if Yes should state the ending balance as at the time of my application.

This girl that I'm friends with and have actually seen in person before, keeps posting [on social media] that she "loves when the transfer goes through" and gets $2000-$6000 for free quite often. She said you can make up to $6500 a day. She is not very smart and barely spells correctly. She keeps saying that all she is doing is "transfers" and that's it. So many of my friends are feeding into this crap. So I asked her what it is. She basically said "it's legit" and asked me for my bank username and password so she could see how much money to deposit into my account. I said no way and left it at that. She also said she is not stealing or doing anything illegal. She is getting her friends free money and I think they're naive. What is she actually doing? Is it illegal? I am sure she is incapable of doing crazy money wiring to different countries.   Thank you everyone for answering my question. I am not stupid, I did not give her my information. I knew she was up to something illegal, so thank you for giving me some input on what exactly she is doing. I submitted an anonymous tip to my local sheriff's department. I'm hoping they see it and pursue it, or forward it to the right authorities I.e the FBI or something.

A man in  west  coast  Austria wants to deposit money  into  my account.  I'm in Alabama.  I had to get an online  account.  I did that, but he says his bank manager  needs all this information:   DOB SSN    online access username  online access  password   security  question and answer   bank name   bank address   bank number  person who is on the account     their name their address    account no   routing no     OK. Is it safe  to do this or am I being scammed?  I don't want him  to be able to end up withdrawing all my money instead of depositing money.

Until now when arriving from EU to the UK I was walking green corridors and life was good. Now gov.uk website says this ():  You can bring in other goods worth up to £390 (or up to £270 if you arrive by private plane or boat). If you go over your allowance you pay tax and duty on the total value of the goods, not just the value above the allowance. You may have to pay customs duty if you exceed your allowances. You may also have to pay import VAT.  Does that mean that now I should go in the red corridor and declare my iPhone 12 and my Apple Watch Series 6? And pay every time I move through the border? Or keep receipt?

this is a follow on from my previous question:      So the Help to buy ISA has arrived. Having had a read though the documents though I'm still unclear on whether my girlfriend is eligible for a help to buy ISA (for use with a joint purchase), even if I'm not:     Taken together I think that means that your girlfriend can get one of   these ISAs and use it towards a jointly-purchased house. But you'd be   wise to check that with the ISA provider.   Reading though (for example) the   It states:     Accounts are limited to one per person rather than one per home so   those buying together can each claim a bonus.   So does this mean she can open and use a help to buy ISA even if I can't?

I saw  recently where a man withdrew $600,000 USD in cash from his bank.  I'm sure many folks here would advise against this move for obvious (and perhaps not-so-obvious) reasons.   My question: suppose you did this and then, some months later, changed your mind and wanted to re-deposit with a bank.  I assume the gent cannot simply walk into a bank with $600,000 USD and deposit it, right?  Wouldn't money-laundering alarms be raised?  Wouldn't the IRS like to know where the money came from?

I've just returned from several unusual countries in Asia, and annoyingly despite being told I'd have no problem, I'm unable to find anyone in London to change back to pounds.  I've tried Travelex in Heathrow, a currency exchange place, and the post office.  The currencies include cash from: Mongolia, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan.  Most of the responses when shown the money is to the tone of "What the hell currency is this?" which doesn't fill me with confidence.  Any suggestions welcomed for places that may change this. Otherwise I may need to go back next year ;)

I just read a question and answer about tipping housekeeping daily (). But how should I physically give them the money? Obviously if I see them I can hand them the money but if I'm out for the day?   I guess I leave cash somewhere obvious, should I leave a note as well? What if it's a non-English speaking country (I'm not sure if you'd be expected to tip there, but maybe you want to). Is there some customary place to leave the tip?   As someone brought up in a generally non-tipping country I often have to work out how to tip, but in general you can just keep an eye on what everyone else does. Not in this case.

I applied for a standard visitor visa to the UK for seven days. I earn £278/month and have been working at the same organization for more than a year. I have saved up enough funds for the trip and I attached bank statements to prove it. The ECO refused my visa stating:      I note that you stated that your trip to the UK will cost you £1100, this is approximately 4 times your monthly income. I do not find it credible that you spend this amount on a trip.   I am a single woman, with no financial responsibilities and I saved up for this trip because I really wanted to visit the UK.  How do I prove to the ECO and the authorities that spending £1,100 for my trip wouldn't have caused me any financial harm neither would I have had to access UK government funds?    Another concern of mine is that if I reapply without the partial funding of my father or get sponsored by a different person, does the amount given by my father previously cause hindrance in my visa application?  Won't they still reject it on the basis of my pay being too insignificant?

I was contacted by someone who claims he is in the military stationed overseas. He said he could transfer fund from his account to mine. Just wondering if this is true. I am not interested in transfering funds.

I am a medical doctor in Pakistan. I have been on a career break to allow myself to study full time for the IELTS exam (from which I recently got the required band score) and PLAB 1. I have now registered and paid for the PLAB 1 exam in UK for June 2016, as the next sitting in Pakistan is in November 2016 and I feel like I am ready to do the exam sooner.  Due to having no current employment, my savings are limited (around 25,000 Pakistani Rupees) but I live with my parents and do not have any financial commitments at home.  My savings have depleted in the past ten months whilst I have taken a career break and the money has been used for my own personal expenses. My trip to the UK is being funded by my grandfather who is a British citizen. He is a retired doctor with a good NHS pension. He has provided me with:   6 months bank statements which clearly show his pension deposits   Letter from NHS Pensions stating his pension   Sponsorship letter stating that he will pay for my PLAB exam fee, travel, accommodation and subsistinence costs whilst in the UK   Copy of British passport  Document confirming that he owns the house he lives in mortgage-free Confirmation email from GMC stating he has paid the PLAB exam fee.   Without large personal savings and no current job (but I have job offers now) would my application be rejected or is the strong sponsorship going to be good enough?  Are there any other documents I should consider submitting that may help me get a visa?
