independent means

independent means
the ability to finance oneself without assistance from the state. A set of financial criteria that, if satisfied by a non-British citizen, will normally result in that person being admitted to the UK for an initial period of four years with a prohibition on taking up employment. At present the financial requirements are that the person has under his control and disposable in the UK a sum of not less than £200,000 or income of not less than £20,000 per year; further, the person must be willing and able to maintain himself in the UK and to support and accommodate any dependants in the UK without working, with no assistance from any other persons and without recourse to public funds. It is an advantage if such a person can show a close connection with the UK (such as relatives resident here or periods of previous residence) or that his admission would be in the UK's general interests.
