One of my friends deposited £42 into my account that he had borrowed previously. Will it affect my UK visa application?
One of my friends deposited £42 in my account that he had borrowed previously. Will it affect my UK visa process? It shows in my bank statement. Is the entry clearance officer only concerned about large deposits? Should I mention it in my cover letter?
Best Answer
Don't worry. 42 pounds is not a material amount of money when judging a visa application, and the officers are looking for regular income (salary etc), not one-offs.
For comparison, an oft-quoted (but AFAICT totally unofficial) guideline is that you want to have funds of around 100 pounds for every day that you're staying in the UK.

How much money can you have in your bank account for a UK visa?
You must have at least \xa34,000 in your savings. Anything less than that can raise questions and lead to visa refusal. Again, UK Visas and Immigration does not specify what is acceptable in terms of funds.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.How can I show proof of funds for UK student visa?

The funds in your bank account must be available for 28 consecutive days and must not fall below the required amount during these 28 days.
