| Apr 18, 2016 at 3:10 | comment | added | Zach Lipton | In any case, you'll need to have considerably more money than $80 to live as a student in the UK, so the actual amount isn't that important. The important part is showing you have sufficient funds to support yourself, and you'll need more than $80 for that, however much you actually spend. Personally, I'd question just how enjoyable the "vista of the roads" really is on a grand tour of Europe's motorways in which you never stop in any cities or see any of the sights for which people visit the continent, but that's up to you. | |

I am sure that if you don't have it planned, then it doesn't look good on your visa application. Maybe you want to book a train ticket from Lyon to London instead? Anyway, you should also read Schengen Visa Application: tips for preparing to see what the visa officers will be looking for. | |
| Apr 18, 2016 at 2:49 | comment | added | user41592 | @MichaelHampton, I thought that if such a long distance is 60$ then it will be cheap also from Lyon to the UK. If the car breaks down I have to take a bus! But it will be more expensive than plane I think. I think I should upload another question of cheapest way from Turkey to the UK excluding plane and hitchhiking? | |
| Apr 18, 2016 at 2:39 | comment | added | Michael Hampton | This will get you to Lyon, which is still 760km away from the Calais ferry! France is a big country. Have you planned this part of the journey? What will you do if the car breaks down? | |
| Apr 18, 2016 at 2:26 | comment | added | user41592 | @ZachLipton Actually $60 not $80. Please see blablacar.com.tr/yolculuk-istanbul-lyon-431916148 for example. | |
| Apr 18, 2016 at 2:21 | comment | added | Zach Lipton | $80 USD seems incredibly cheap for a road trip across all of Europe. You could easily spend half of that just on a ferry ticket to the UK (even assuming a foot passenger with an advance booking). Not to mention food, your share of tolls, and other expenses. If you pay $0.10/mile for your BlaBlaCar (as a quick Google indicates may be a rough estimate), that's around $180 to get from the Turkish border to France. | |

| Apr 18, 2016 at 1:05 | comment | added | Michael Hampton | Aren't you going to the UK to study? In that case, who cares about a steady job in your home country? They want to know you will leave the Schengen area, and you're going to the UK, not back to Turkey! | |
| Apr 18, 2016 at 1:02 | comment | added | user41592 | @MichaelHampton, by a lawyer's advice I put some money in bank for 28 days (source didn't matter) and was enough for a student visa of the UK. But for tourist visa one must prove that she/he will get out of the area after visa expires so having a steady job in the 'home country' is a supportive reason (?) ... | |
| Apr 18, 2016 at 0:55 | comment | added | Michael Hampton | How did you demonstrate your income for your UK visa? It should be very similar. | |
| Apr 18, 2016 at 0:54 | comment | added | user41592 | @MichaelHampton, income is not regular-paid; it's from activeness of a small company which covers enough money for a living. Road trip is ~80usd (!) but the problem is how can I "show" this? Thanks | |
| Apr 18, 2016 at 0:48 | comment | added | Michael Hampton | Do you have income? Enough money to pay for your road trip? Do you have documents to prove it? This is what they will look for. | |
