UK visitor visa - Cash inflow in account
Me and wife are planning travel to UK for tourism. We both are financially independent and have required documents to provide evidence of ties to home country and necessary financial capability.
In my wife's account statement, there are entries of regular salary which we stated in application form but in one particular month of last 6 months, the company paid the yearly bonus, so the amount is more than double than regular salary in that month.The entry in statement clearly states company's name(a reputed MNC) and that it is salary, but do we need to write a covering letter and specifically mention the reason why the amount is higher in one month?
Also, this month is 4-5 months back, not recent. Since we will be providing salary slips as well, the salary entry for that month will be matching with salary slip which will have the bonus amount included. So logically I don't see need to explicitly call out a perfectly legal entry, but still seeking guidance.
