Amount Of Money Need To Be In Your Account For Uk Visa by lantres000(op): 9:34pm On Nov 10, 2018

Guys

I will please need your guide on how much i should declare on my UK Visa application form. I am presenting an account with N2,050,000 balance for 10 days vacation for my wife and I. Do i need to claim i will be spending all, or how much do i declare i will be spending in the form?

Your response will be greatly appreciated.

It will be hard to convince an Entry Clearance Officer that that sum will be spent on just vacation.
Who spends all of their life savings on a vacation?
He'd think you have plans of remaining there and using the vacation as a decoy to gain entry.

I'd advice you break down your expenses this way;
Flight
Feeding
Tours
Accommodation
Miscellaneous.

Then sum it up.
You'd be home and dry with an actual explanation to whatever you intend to spend.

Better still, ensure you don't intend spending more than your 4 months salary or over 70% of your savings.
Justwise is also someone who can advice on this.
