## FAQ
**How much is the UK visitor visa from India in 2026?**
£135 for the 6-month visa, which the Home Office charges in rupees at about ₹17,865. Add about £500 for priority or £1,000 for super priority if you want a faster decision, plus any VFS add-ons you choose. Our fee calculator converts the total at today's rate.

**How much bank balance do I need for a UK tourist visa?**
There is no fixed figure. The officer compares the cost of your trip with your income and savings over 6 months. A balance built up gradually that covers the trip comfortably, with normal salary credits and spending, is far stronger than a large sum deposited last month.

**Can my parents in Punjab get a 6-month visa to visit me in the UK?**
Yes. Parents usually apply with a sponsor letter from you, your payslips and bank statements, your eVisa share code and your tenancy. They still need their own ties: pension, land records, other children in India, and a history of returning from previous trips.
