UK visit visa: what to specify for monthly income when income varies?
Currently applying for a 2 week visit visa for my Turkish fiance. He works and helps run his family business all year this job is paid cash which my fiance then deposits into his bank on payday and gets a printed and stamped bank statement.
The issue is the pay sometimes varies as it does depend on what the cafe makes each month. Some months its 600 TRY to 800 TRY and mostly it is 1000 TRY. He keeps some in his bank as savings and the rest is spent on living, bills etc.
We were going to include a cover letter explaining this and also his pay etc will be explained in his employment letter. The question on the application asks how much the applicant gets paid monthly we are unsure what to put as some months vary.
Best Answer
List the average for the past 6 months and include the details about his type of employment in the cover letter. As long as you don't misrepresent the facts (e.g. by using the maximum salary value in the application), it should be fine.
Also see this great post about providing bank statements when applying for UK visas. As long as there's stable payments coming into his account every month it should be fine.
