UK and Schengen visa fund question from India
We are applying for UK and Schengen visas consecutively as that seems to be the requirement, though it is one combined visit for us. We plan to arrive in Europe and then go across to UK and head back to India from there. The funding for this visit is from savings. My question is, do we need to have funds in the bank for the Europe and UK visit at the time of applying for UK visa, or is it enough if we have enough for UK at time of applying for that, and liquidate more savings at time of applying for Schengen?
Best Answer
It does not make any difference at application time.
However when you arrive in either the UK or France you may undergo an inspection of your documents. If a recent bank statement shows a large influx of cash and it does not sync up with the stuff you submitted as evidence, they will get worried. So logistically you are better off getting your cash sorted out all at once, especially if Schengen and the UK are part of a single journey.
