Financial requirement in this case

[talkhome]

Hi Everyone,

How much do I need to show to meet financial requirements:

I am British Citizen
My son has Valid Right of Abode stamped on his overseas passport

I want to apply for my spouse uk visa from overseas.

Can someone please comment on the financial requirements that will be applicable in my case:

1. £18,600 or £22,400

I believe its

18,600 to sponsor your spouse
22,400 to sponsor spouse + 1 child from abroad

18,600 is the financial requirement to be met for your wife and your child do not need visa because they already have a right of abode which allows them to travel to the UK without any restrictions.

Do you mind to share a reference from
Official source to confirm If child has certificate of entitlement of Right of Abode stamped on foreign passport under section 2 (1) (a)

That child is exempt from financial requirement when making application of spouse visa
