I am asking for someone who has to apply from Pakistan.

I mean it will

be 3100*150=465000
or 3100*155=480500
or 3100*160=496000

or what???

so what should be the MINIMUM level of funds in PKR from last 3 months?

Thanks
The answer to the above would be put 5 lack PKR in the account and forget it for 90days.

but the Best way is that you buy £3100 in open market and open a pound sterling account and be rest assured that there will be no fluctuations.
Thats good solution but someone already maintained PKR-1100000/- in total and is maintained since last month. I was just wondering if previous month possibly maintained or they are still at zero stage?
Main applicant along with two dependents. Im calculating as [£(3100+1800+1800)*160].
Not sure if the requirement is fulfilled or not.......
I think they are fine, I cant see Pound exceeding 160 PKR

Its better you go through Policy guidance, that will clear your mind on all the above questions.

You will have to follow 200K route, with £3100 maintenance and you will have to carry on having the investments funds in the account(your or third party) throughout the visa process. with new changes you will have to carry on having the 200K available to you through out the 3 years and 4 months,regardless of the fact that your business runs on only 30K etc.

Have a look its important you provide them TB Test otherwise your visa will be rejected, I had it done it expired and I did it again, there is no escaping it, you can email them and they will probably invite you for test in 2 days from your test request.

Hello

Sorry I missed few things in the post

First if u applying from Pakistan or any other country there processing time is fast that if ur paper work is good it's better to have money In The account until home office verify it if u know the manager they can tell u that

As per my knowledge its not been written anyplace that u should keep 200k in the bank just they need to know u got 200 k to invest in uk as they asking maintance funds for last 90 days there is nothing mentioned about 200k how long it can be in the bank for 100 years or 1 day as long as u have access to the funds

Now when u come here u need to show them u invested the money here and create jobs but I read this thing u need to show here around 75% of that money I invested here not sure in this much I think cause for investor visa they have to show some thing like that

As I'm not in that thing right now as when I get my tier 1 visa then ill study on that but moral is u have to have access to 200k or invested in uk when u will be extending we need to show that thing

Hi obaied.

For T1E, after getting visa, u will have to spend all 200k in 3y times + creating 2 jobs in final years. UKBA need documentry evidance of spending 200k since ur arrival in uk. It will enable you to claim points on extension application.

Gardeazi786 is right at the moment processing time is faster if some1 make application from abroad. so u must keep 200k in your account till a decision will be made on your application along with maintance of 90days or equilant.

Read 45DE

These are conditions for further leave to remain after you are in UK.


point three is the answer to your question, which states.

(1) in his own possession,

(2) in the financial accounts of a UK incorporated business of which he is the director, or

(3) available from the third party or parties named in the application under the terms of the declaration(s) referred to in paragraph 41-SD(b) of Appendix A

As you stated that you would start your business with 25K , that is fine by all means , maybe the business you are starting only requires 25K and does not need necessarily the investment of 200K.

what you generate with your business and re-injecting it in, is up to your own business model.

For extension you will have to show that you had the whole 200K available to you , of which 25K was invested and the rest was sitting in Pakistan or any other country and was always available to you for transfer and invest if required by business.

hope it clears all your doubts ignore what others said just believe and understand what UKBA says, I have pointed you in right direction. Investigate the page thoroughly and read to clear your mind more on it.

i really appreciate ur time and effort u made to clear my confusion and i hope it would be helpful for others forum members/readers as well and i must say we r all here to help each other with authentic information and evidence and obviously we r not experts on the UKBA policy and guidance issues, in addition understanding on one issues might be different person to person but we should show our respect each other.

now as my understanding
i dont need bring all money from home but i have to show 200K in the UK while i will go for extension.
it would be fully investment in my Business or partly investment in that case i will/can show 100K in my business or personal account in the UK Bank and rest of the fund as a invest.

please clarify if i am wrong

Hello

Guys if u planning to get big amount To uk the best way is take cash with u if its not more then 10000 but even u suppose to have a proof of money that u took out from a bank or convert it pounds u know a receipt

As if u don't have proof in uk it's consider as money laundering and u get stuck her easiest way is bank transfer as for new people coming here they can take cash when reach here open bank account which is not easy takes time a bit

bank letter

Post by dpr1979 » Tue May 14, 2013 12:22 am

Hi can u please also tell if any of u used third party funding, if so then does the bank of the third party issues a letter in your name as an applicant.
Because when my third party funding individual asked for the same, she was declined by her bank as to, they cannot put my name as an applicant because i have nothing to do with them. also they said that its ur money give it to whoever u want but we dont give any declaration on ur behalf to no one.

Because when my third party funding individual asked for the same, she was declined by her bank as to, they cannot put my name as an applicant because i have nothing to do with them. also they said that its ur money give it to whoever u want but we dont give any declaration on ur behalf to no one.
Banks do and dont issue such letters depends on the bank,
U can ask ur sister to get a letter for the money available ,for whatever amount that is,

and make the bank staff at least mention that the money is disposable in the UK upon request.

She can then explain in the declaration in clear and i detail that money is available to you & your brother. (Its the best possible solution to ur prob)
