UK visa refused (Pakistani nationals) due to funds parking - need advice on fresh application [duplicate]

Recently my parents and I applied for a UK general visitor visa. My father's visa was rejected due to an influx of funds in his account. Furthermore, my mother’s application was also subsequently rejected as she was funded by my father for the trip.

With regards to my application. I was funding my own trip and had a total of 13000 AED in my account (2380 GBP).I stated in my application that I had no other savings and that the trip would cost me 1000 GBP.

Kindly note that I have previous lived in UK for 4 years as a student and left the country before my visa expired.

Visa application feedback stated that:

I was using a significant portioning of my savings to fund the trip and this was considered unjustified.
Secondly, since i am single and have no saving in UAE. It was considered probable that I might not return at the end of my trip.

I have the following questions:

When should I reapply? I am considering applying only for myself and my mother this time and funding her for the trip.
What assurance can I provide to prove that I have a genuine reason to return to UAE at the end of my trip?
Is it possible that my visa was rejected because my parents visas were rejected?

Best Answer

Savings are a factor but the major factor is a steady income in your place of residence that assures your return to your country of residence. Not having a source of income would seriously hamper your chances of getting a visa. Having immovable properties and investments are also a big plus when applying for a visa. They do not look at the total amount you have in your bank account, they are more concerned with where and how the money is coming from.

Having returned within the visa time frame as a student is not a guarantee that you would get a visitors visa.

You should apply when you have a source of income and a reasonable amount of money in your savings/investments. Having GBP3000-4000 in total savings makes it look a bit odd.
