If you're dreaming of a trip abroad, your visa isn’t just about documents-it’s about your bank balance too! Most countries require you to prove that you have enough funds to support your trip. This financial proof ensures you're a genuine tourist who can afford the trip and return home.

For example, a trip to the USA might need ₹5–8 lakh for 15–20 days. For Australia, it’s around ₹2.5–5 lakh. France, Germany, and Spain require about ₹1.5–2 lakh for two-week stays, with a daily requirement of ₹9,000–11,000. Countries like Canada and Japan also recommend a balance of ₹3–6 lakh depending on the duration and activities planned.

Documents like bank statements, ITRs, salary slips, and hotel bookings play a crucial role in proving your financial readiness. A solid travel history, return tickets, and travel insurance further boost your chances.

Bottom line? If you’re planning that international vacation, start saving smartly-your bank account might be the passport stamp you didn’t expect!
