Hello Friends

I have been working since July 2012 and my salary during all that time has been over £18,600.

For the past 5 months my bank account has been overdrawn (below 0) and I've been living from my overdraft. I bought a car to commute to and from work ... etc.

This month my account is once again above £0 (phew!). I have around £1000 on my account, and of course I'm still in full time employment.

If I go and apply for spouse visa now in Turkey. Can they refuse on the grounds that my bank statement shows me being below £0 for 5 months?

I would greatly appreciate any help.

Thank You.

I'm in the process of applying for a spouse visa also. Both myself and my husbands accounts have overdrafts. Your account is using the agreed overdraft amount... So im hoping they don't see it differently!

Hi James - I haven't read anything in the rules that specifies what your bank balance should be, when you're applying only on the basis of employment. To me, that says that it's not an issue as if it was, it would surely be specified - but that's only my thoughts. I hope someone who has a definitive answer comes along to set your mind at ease.

I don't think you'd be an orphan in not being able to save any of your salary - in fact you're probably in the majority. Best of luck for your application and move
