ORIGINAL POSTER
Hello, I've seen a conflict of answer to this.... do dependants of the main DTV visa holder (my children, 9 and 7yrs) need the £11k in a bank account aswell?

They technically are obtaining a dtv visa aswell and that is one of the requirements to have that amount of money but, they are dependant on me?

Has anyone been through the process of getting this visa with children?

Thanks for any advice on this.

TLDR : Answer Summary
The original question pertains to whether children of a main DTV visa holder must also have £11k in a bank account for their visa application. Respondents indicate that typically, a sponsorship letter from the primary DTV holder can suffice, stating responsibility for dependants' support, alongside their financial documentation. Some embassies may have different requirements, such as needing an additional sum per dependent.

You write them a sponsorship letter as the primary DTV holder and state you will be responsible for their support, and you send your banking information again.

Some embassies will require an additional 500k for each dependent, while some will be fine just your 500k for yourself.
