Suspicious amount in bank account

Post by tahire » Sat Jan 24, 2009 9:39 pm

hi im applying for a visa for my wife in pak im british. i wanted to ask if i have around 30,000 in my account with wages going in too will this seem suspicious. is that too much to have in one acount? im young and have only been woking for 3 months but before i ran my own business and some of my own savings. i thought the more u have in your account the better but now im having doubts. im 24 years old. please advise
. thanks

I don't think that is a problem. And with interest rates so low there is little incentive for anyone to move money out of a current account to a different account.

I wouldn't have more than 20K after Iceland bank fell but otherwise feel free.

Is it all legitimate money? If yes, how would it look suspicious? Imagine if lots of money always looked suspicious then richard branson will never be able to obtain a visa for any country, lol

UKBA's terms allow it to share data with HMRC. They don't normally share that data but as long as you realise that they can do you should be fine.
