Maintenance Fund for family visitor

[kumar125]

Hi All,
I am working under Tier-2 ICT Long Term Visa, My Mother like to come to U.K as a Family Visitor.

She has maintained around Rs.2.00 Lakhs in Savings Bank Account in India.

I have not maintained any specific amount in GBP in my U.K. Bank Account. Just normal balance & transactions.

Pl. let me know whether I need to maintain funds ?, How much funds I need to maintain in GBP for Family Visitor ?

or My mother Bank statement of Rs.2.00 Lakhs is sufficient for a family visitor ?

Pl. help in this matter.

Thanks
Kumar

You are not settled in the UK so it will be a general visit application. There is no fixed sum held for a fixed period for visit applications; if you have a good historical cash flow of income and positive bank balance you should be fine (and assuming she has insufficient means of her own and so needs your financial sponsorship). Obviously, she also needs to show her own economic and social ties to her homeland.

Thanks Lucapooka,
Regarding " Obviously, she also needs to show her own economic and social ties to her homeland" She owns property ( land & building) in India but the property papers are not in English language but in Indian Language. Do I need to get the property papers translated into English ?. Pl. guide.

Thanks in advance.
