Can the financial details on the UK visitor visa application be different from the previous applications?

Can the financial details on the UK visitor visa application be different from the previous applications? - From above of briefcase for documents with papers placed on wooden table in daytime

I am going to start the visitor visa application process for my in-laws in India. My father-in-law has been to the UK once in 2014. My mother-in-law has been to the UK twice - once in 2014 and second time in 2015. They were both issued a visitor visa in 2017 on which they never travelled.

All of these times, my father-in-law's financial circumstances were different. He was employed full time so he was able to show stable income meeting his monthly expenses. This time though, he is going to be retiring next month without any pension. In the past, we never mentioned any of their properties or LIC policies etc. in the application as their financial circumstances looked solid even without those. But now, since he is going to be retired without any pension, I am inclined to include the details of all other savings and properties that he has.

Will the fact that he did not share information about his properties and savings in the previous applications be held against him this time?



Best Answer

I can’t see why it would - it’s hardly realistic to include every single item of financial assets unless needed to demonstrate financial standing, and any individual’s financial circumstances may change over time. Being retired without a pension means he’s lost one avenue of demonstrating ties to home country and strong financial circumstances, but he has others that seem equally compelling. I would just include an explanation in the application and/or a covering letter.

Can I edit my UK visa application after payment?

If you want to change something in your application after you've sent it contact UK Visas and Immigration ( UKVI ). You can ask to cancel your application. Your fee will only be refunded if UKVI has not started processing your application.

Can I change information on my visa application?

Although it's true that the State Department does not provide a way to go back and change an already submitted DS-160, you can go online to submit a new, corrected DS-160, print the new confirmation page, and bring that to your interview at the consulate or embassy.

How much bank statement is required for UK visit visa?

You must submit 6 months of bank statements that clearly show your monthly salary and financial commitments. There must not be any large deposits of cash other than your salary. Total savings must be at least twice your proposed UK trip expenses.

Does UK Embassy verify bank statement?

The Embassy does not check bank statement in case of every applicant. It is done on random basis or in case of doubt. I have seen myself in my case when going to UK on student visa.
