Visa Working Holiday $$$

Post Wed Jul 13, 2005 6:05 pm

How much money do I need to show that I have to apply for the VISA...Is there a minimum? Because I don't have more than 2000$CDN...

If you're talking about the requirements for a working holiday visa, there isn't really a hard and fast answer. I got by with $2000. I suspect they consider all factors and make their judgment accordingly. I knew extended family in the UK, and said that I was staying with them for the first little while. I have no idea if that factored into their decision or not.

I called the UK Embassy in Ottawa (though getting through to a real live human was a story in itself...as far as I can tell, the phones are only manned from noon till 1215 on Tuesdays) - the folks there told me that to get a WHV to go to London, I needed to have $2500 CAD. Hopefully their advice is better than their hours, lol.

You're not supposed to do it, but my sister borrowed the money from a friend for just long enough to provide proof of funds to the immigration people, then paid it back when she arrived in the UK.
