What amount of funds does my Thai girlfriend need to show for her UK Standard Visitor Visa application?

Question

Question: We are trying to plan for my Thai girlfriend to visit the UK for for the first time, for a short period, probably in the region of 5 days, plus a 7 day cruise to the Norwegian Fjords sandwiched in the middle. She has done group/family travel to the Schengen Zone a couple of times without any visa issues. In an attempt to get the UK Standard Visitor Visa application to go through smoothly, what kind of amount of funds does she need to prove to have in her bank account to satisfy UK immigration requirement for the visa application, bearing in mind she will only be in the UK for about 5 days on this first visit?

Return flight ticket, accommodation booked, having a educated and decent job, own house, family commitments, never overstayed anywhere, seems to tick most other boxes to satisfy the application. Just needing an idea of the amount of funds in her account that she will need to show, to allow the application to go smoothly

The statements from the last 12 months will be checked. It's complex but there are ways to solve the huddles they put up.

When my girlfriend came across last year I wrote a letter guaranteeing her stay so she didn't need any money in her own account

Ruud ****************** · Answer

Be aware that the UK is not Schengen anymore and Norway is; so I think she needs 2 separate visa

It's not any specific amount. They simply like to see a solid savings record. Realistically, anyone can drop $10,000 into an account for a few days. Last time my lady did a UK they asked for 12 months bank statements. UK is getting tougher. Also show payslips and employment record
