Financial requirements for UK visitors from Chennai
UKVI does not publish a minimum bank-balance number, but the case-worker guidance expects you to show enough disposable income to cover the trip without working in the UK. For a 10-day family visit from Chennai we typically recommend ₹1.5–2 lakh maintained balance per adult over 6 months, plus visible salary credits.
Static "money-parked" statements are the single biggest red flag. We coach every applicant on how to present a genuine, active financial picture.
