I understand UK has to defend herself from TNTs but to do so, do they also have to turn down genuine backpackers from the PI? I have read the vaf form and I understand the basic requirements. But I wonder what sort of evidences are sufficient for the ECO to grant visa to a backpacking applicant? Let's say for applicant A, he has little money in his bank account, but he has a land title of a prime lot, and also has a substantial amount in his time deposit and mutual funds. Applicant B does not have a title or time deposit, but his bank account reaches say...P400,000. His parents has also pledged to support him throughout the trip and provided a copy of their own bank accounts as proof. Which of the two applicants is more likely to be granted a visa?
Thanks.
