Yes, your spouse can show funds held in his or her parents' account as evidence of financial support for a UK dependent visa application, provided that the parents are willing to give a declaration stating that they will provide financial support to your spouse during his or her stay in the UK. However, it is important to note that the UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI) may question the source of funds, especially if there are large sums of money involved. Therefore, it is important to provide evidence of the legitimate source of funds, such as bank statements or tax returns, and to explain any unusual or large transactions in the account. It is also important to ensure that the funds meet the required amount for the dependent visa category. The current financial requirement for a UK dependent visa is 680 per month for each dependent, in addition to the cost of accommodation. The funds must be held in the account for a minimum of 28 consecutive days before the date of application. It is recommended that your spouse consults with a qualified immigration adviser or lawyer to ensure that all the requirements for the UK dependent visa are MET and to increase the chances of a successful application.
