When it comes to how much bank statement is required for UK visit visa, there is a lot of confusion out there because the UKVI does not provide proper guidelines on bank statements. You must submit 6 months of bank statements that clearly shows your monthly salary and financial commitments. The Entry Clearance Officers makes sure that the UK visit visa applicant has original/sufficient funds to support and maintain themselves for the entire duration of their stay in the UK.

Bank statements works as evidence to prove that the applicant has sufficient funds. The Entry Clearance Officers pays close attention to the total cost of the trip, monthly income, expenses and any other financial commits such as mortgage, dependants, etc. Here are what the Entry Clearance Officers primarily looks at:

1. UK trip expenses: They look at your capability to spend about £100-150 per day per person
2. Monthly income: You should have a monthly income of at least half of the total UK trip expenses
3. Sufficient funds: You should have funds that are more than twice of the total UK trip expenses
4. Spending and saving patterns: You should have been saving consistently for the UK trip and not borrowed money from someone else

From your bank statements, Entry Clearance Officers can assess your sources of income, financial commitments and current lifestyle before determining whether to grant your application or not. Bank statements are not just about how much cash you have in your bank. They tell a lot about your financial and personal circumstances.

A visit visa usually means you're traveling as a tourist, if you want to get a job, apply to companies and get a job, then you will be issued a permit that will enable you work without hindrance.
