- By earning a minimum of £18,600 annually
- By having a minimum of £62,500 in cash savings.
- Be aware: this figure increases with each additional non-British dependent in the family, such as a child who is not British, but the figure remains unaffected by additional British family members such as British children ( Uk passport holders)
- If you do choose to combine your income with cash savings then you must show minimum savings of £16,000. The amount of income you need to meet to cover up the remainder is calculated via the following method:
(Amount of savings – 16,000) ÷ 2.5 = X
X – 18,600 = amount if income needed to cover the remainder
Example: £25,000 cash savings
(25000 – 16000) ÷ 2.5 = £3,600
£18,600 – £3,600 = £15,000
Be awarev: the rule allowing you to combine cash and income savings does not apply if you are self-employed or if you are the Director of a limited company in the UK.
