In my bank statement there are a few incoming transactions such as 800 or 1000 or 2500 apart from my monthly salary. These amounts are mine which my friends have paid back to me as I have paid for various things (such as we were traveling together, or having dinner together, the bill is paid by me through my credit card, and their share is paid back to me from their bank account online).

How can I justify this scenario to visa officers while submitting the application for a UK visitor visa?



Best Answer

You explain it by telling the truth, you paid (specified items) in cash for someone and they paid you by bank.

The amount of money is significant but not the amount people would usually use for funds parking. When well explained it should not be a problem.

There is no 'wanted' or 'needed' amount for your bank and savings account, it is showing you can afford this travel and have a stable job to come home to.
