I was just looking on the UK Border Agency website and could not see any mention of 10,000 USD requirements or property ownership. Do you have any further info?

(I appreciate that it will still be difficult for Iranians to get a visa even if that isn't the case...)

Hi all,

I received this question about visas for Iranian citizens and am passing it along:

As it stands now, UK visa requirements for Iranian citizens is to have a bank account with (on average) 10000 USD or equivalent in the last six months, plus proof of ownership of a property in Iran, the documents have to be translated and notarized.

Most of the volunteers interested in getting scholarship for WM or trying to arrange travel on their own are mostly young people who do not satisfy either conditions, is there something that the UK team can do about that? can they get confirmation that if they apply these requirements will be waived or something similar?

Thanks!
