Does anyone know the exact amount of money someone need to have when moving to the UK?

Question

I have been told three years of living expenses BUT who determines the living expenses? I have lived on as little as 8,000.00 US one year-hated it but I did it and without any government help. Over here unless you are pregnant, have kids or are new immigrants you don't qualify.

Answer 1

Only the home office & related state departments can tell you what the minumum requirements are for getting
a) leave to remain in the country
b) a tourist or visitors' visa
c) permanent residence
d) a work permit
e) citizenship ... which are 5 different sets of rules and procedures - so sorry, but there is no short and easy answer.

But I am told it helps if you either have £1 mil pounds to invest in a UK company, follow one of the schemes that apply to shortage areas, or get a company to sponsor and take you through the whole process.

Answer 2

That sounds about the same for the UK. Also, if you're jobless, that helps. We're pretty generous in the UK when it comes to people claiming benefits!
