✅ Your regular source of income and financial stability.

✅ Whether your declared income is consistent with your tax returns and financial records.

👫 CoupleRecommended balance: BDT 1,500,000+ (15 Lakh)

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Family (3–4 Members)Recommended balance: BDT 2,000,000+ (20 Lakh)

📊 Bank Statement Guidelines

✔ Maintain a healthy and stable balance throughout the 6-month period.

✔ Avoid allowing your balance to fall significantly below your usual maintained amount.

✔ Normal account activity is encouraged. Regular deposits, bill payments, and everyday spending help demonstrate genuine account usage.

✔ Avoid large unexplained cash deposits or withdrawals shortly before applying.

✔ Excessive transactions made solely to create account activity may raise questions.

✔ Business accounts may naturally have a higher volume of transactions.

🧾 Tax Return & Income Consistency

✔ Your income shown in bank statements should be consistent with your tax returns and supporting documents.

✔ Any significant discrepancies may lead to additional scrutiny during the visa assessment process.

🏦 Choosing the Right Bank

Well-established and reputable banks are generally preferred, such as:

• Standard Chartered Bank• HSBC• BRAC Bank• City Bank• Eastern Bank PLC (EBL)• Dutch-Bangla Bank

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

📌 Fixed Deposit (FDR)

An FDR is generally considered an asset rather than liquid cash available in your savings/current account. While it can support your overall financial profile, it should not be relied upon as the only proof of available funds.

⚠ Important Disclaimer

There is no officially fixed bank balance requirement for a UK Visitor Visa. Every application is assessed individually based on financial circumstances, travel history, purpose of visit, and supporting documentation.
