Student visa
Greetings 👋
My name is Alexander, I am your personal manager. Let me help you!

Recently, our team was asked a question: “I have received an offer from a UK university, but I’m unsure about the financial requirements. Could you tell me how much money I need to show in my bank account to apply for a Student visa?”
We wanna share the answer from our specialists:
15.09.2025 11:29:59 To apply for a Student visa in the UK, you need to demonstrate that you have enough money to support yourself while studying. As of the latest guidelines, you are generally required to show: 1. **Tuition Fees**: You must have enough funds to cover your first year of tuition fees or the entire course if it is less than a year long. 2. **Living Costs**: You need to show that you have sufficient funds for living costs for up to 9 months: - If you will be studying in London, you need £1,334 per month. - If you will be studying outside London, you need £1,023 per month. For example, if your course is longer than 9 months and you're studying in London, you'll need £12,006 (£1,334 x 9) for living expenses. You must have had this money in your bank account for at least 28 consecutive days before applying for the visa. The end date of this 28-day period must be within 31 days of the date you apply for your visa. Please check the official UK government website or contact your university's international student office for the most current information and advice tailored to your situation.
16.09.2025 13:24:24 To apply for a UK Student visa, you must prove that you can cover your tuition fees and living costs. First, you need to show funds to pay the outstanding tuition fees for the first year of your course (the amount will be stated on your CAS). In addition, you must demonstrate maintenance funds for living expenses: currently £1,334 per month if studying in London, or £1,023 per month if outside London, for up to 9 months. That means a maximum of £12,006 for London or £9,207 elsewhere. The money must be held in your bank account (or your parent’s/legal guardian’s account with consent) for at least 28 consecutive days before the application date. Bank statements or official letters are required. If you have already paid part of your tuition or accommodation fees, this can be deducted from the required balance, provided it is confirmed on your CAS or with receipts.

The funds must be held for at least 28 consecutive days in your account (or your parent’s/legal guardian’s with proof of relationship and consent). You may deduct any tuition or accommodation payments already made if these are shown on your CAS or official receipts. Failure to meet these requirements is a common reason for refusals, so careful preparation is vital.
