Can I transfer some money into my bank account before applying for a UK visa?

Upvote:2

The visa officials want to see two things:

  • Can the visitors pay for the their travel and living expenses?
  • Can the visitors reasonably afford to spend that much money on travel, or does it look like a major investment into an illegal immigration attempt?

The first question requires a certain amount of money. The second question requires a steady income which leaves enough after typical cost-of-living expenses to save for a trip.

Using that old account means you can't show steady deposits of your salary. That will be difficult or impossible to explain.
