2. Have sufficient economic resources to pay for your trip. They will ask you to show that you have the necessary funds for yourself and your dependents.

3. Solvability to pay for your trip returnone of or to continue your journey to another country.

4. Guarantee that you will not stay in the UK permanently or that it will become your primary residence through frequent visits.
