Am I right in interpreting this as saying £11,000 per adult needs to be held in savings? So if adult is on dependent visa, they still need to have £11,000 in addition to the main applicant?

Regarding the DTV for dependents, sponsorship letter is reserved for children under 16 years old only. Dependents under 16 years old are allowed to submit parents' bank statement with the minimum closing balance of £11,000. Please submit the bank statement along with a sponsorship letter from the parent who is the main DTV applicant, his/her passport biodata page, official proof of relationship, and parents' proof of current location (utility bills or a driving license). On the other hand, applicants over 16 years are required to submit their personal financial evidence, showing their name, address, and a minimum closing balance as required by the visa they are applying for.

For further information regarding the DTV requirements, please refer to the details in the email sent on 23 April 2026.

We would appreciate your understanding.
