How much do i need in my account to get a UK Visit Visa in Nigeria

 Most people are often confused regarding, the specific amount or range of money needed in their bank account, to apply and get a UK Visit Visa in Nigeria. The truth is that, there is no specific or specified amount of money needed to apply for a UK visit Visa in Nigeria.

However, there are some points that need to be put into consideration during the Visa application process.

  • The United Kingdom will always prioritize you personal and financial circumstance in Nigeria, while making a decision on your UK Visa Application.

  • The funds in you bank account, must be able to cover the total cost of  your visit to UK, and also have enough to sustain you on return to Nigeria. Assuming the total cost of the trip will be taken care of by yourself, you must show that you have more than enough money to cover the cost of the trip and extra. It will be an added advantage if you have twice or three times to cost of the proposed trip in your bank account.

    Assuming you trip to UK will cost N2,000,000, it will be good to have N4,000,000 to N6,000,000 in your savings bank account.

  • If someone else is contributing toward your visit to the UK, it is important that the person also has more than the total cost of the trip or their contribution, in their saving account. As it will be unreasonable for anyone to spend more than 40 percent of their savings to sponsor a visit to the united kingdom. 

  • Even if someone else if fully or partly funding your trip to UK, your personal circumstance in Nigeria, will still be considered by the UK home office, while making a decision on your application.

  • Most importantly, you must ensure that the funds in your saving account is traceable to the source, as unexplained source of funding, can be a hinderance to a successful UK visa application in Nigeria.
