Do I need a certain amount of money in my bank account to be approved for a travel visa?

Answer

There is no minimum required amount of funds necessary to apply for a U.S. travel visa.

A common misconception about the travel visa process is that in order be approved, you must provide proof of a certain amount of funds in your bank account. Although financial considerations are one aspect of the B-1/B-2 process, and the consular officer may check to see if you are able to support yourself financially during your time in the U.S., there is no minimum required amount of funds that needs to be met. Evaluation of finances will vary from applicant to applicant, depending on a variety of other factors.
