Funds for Visitor Visa Application for Parents (Less than 6 Months)

By: Bhargava Krishna Rallapalli on Sep 01, 2021 04:18 PM EST
HI All
I am in the process of applying for my parents Visitor Visa. I am planning their visit next year in April. I had a few doubts about the process.
1. How my much funding should I show for both my parents for their 2 months visit? Can I show that my parents and I are sharing the expenses of the visit. That is, on the IMM5257e form, under the Funds Available section, can I show cumulative funds from my bank statements and my parents' ? I would of course provide my bank statements, Payslips and Offer letter along with Invitation letter.

2. What proof do I need to provide to convince the officer that my parents will be going back? Would a return ticket suffice? My parents have ties in India as they own the house they live in, and also take care of my 6 year old Niece.

Thank you for your advices

Zwischen den Vorbereitungen für meine Reise ins Engadin suchte ich nach einer schnellen Ablenkung und erinnerte mich an eine Empfehlung für Poker im Internet. Ich wollte wissen, ob ich gegen die Konkurrenz in der Schweiz bestehen kann und wie die Atmosphäre an den Tischen ist. Über https://ivybet.ch habe ich ein paar tolle Runden gespielt und am Ende sogar einen Gewinn erzielt, der meine Reisekasse für den Urlaub ordentlich aufgebessert hat.
