<p data-start="256" data-end="269">Hey everyone,

<p data-start="271" data-end="567">I&rsquo;m currently preparing my UK tourist visa application, and while most of the process seems straightforward, the financial requirement is the part I&rsquo;m still unsure about. I&rsquo;ve read tons of blogs and watched videos, but everyone seems to give different numbers, which makes it even more confusing.

<p data-start="569" data-end="940">A lot of people mention the minimum bank balance for UK tourist visa from India, but there&rsquo;s no official figure from UKVI. From what I&rsquo;ve gathered, they mainly want to see that you can cover your stay, accommodation, food, and transport without depending on anyone. Some travelers said they showed around ₹2 lakhs, others showed ₹3&ndash;4 lakhs&mdash;so the range is quite wide.

<p data-start="942" data-end="1016">What I&rsquo;d love to know is what <em data-start="972" data-end="977">you showed and whether it worked smoothly:

<ul data-start="1018" data-end="1260">
<li data-start="1018" data-end="1064">
<p data-start="1020" data-end="1064">How much did you maintain in your account?

</li>
<li data-start="1065" data-end="1139">
<p data-start="1067" data-end="1139">Did you show only savings, or did you include FDs and investments too?

</li>
<li data-start="1140" data-end="1203">
<p data-start="1142" data-end="1203">Were there any questions raised about your bank statements?

</li>
<li data-start="1204" data-end="1260">
<p data-start="1206" data-end="1260">How long did you maintain the balance before applying?

</li>
</ul>
<p data-start="1262" data-end="1427">I think real experiences help much more than generic advice. If you&rsquo;ve applied recently, your input could really help people like me who are preparing to apply soon.
