To meet the minimum income requirement, you can use:
Pensions•
Maternity, paternity, adoption or sick pay•
Earnings from employment/self-employment•
Savings over £16,000•
Other income such as that generated from rent or shares etc.
If you are applying from outside the UK, you can use your savings to contribute towards the total income amount – however not your earnings. If you are working in the UK, your earnings can count towards the total amount.
In addition, you can also use a combination of savings and earnings to assist you with meeting the minimum income threshold – you will need to prove that you have enough financial support for the entire time of the Visa.
We can analyse your financial circumstances and advise further on the acceptable resources.
