You must have enough money to pay for your course and support yourself in the UK.

How much money you need depends on your circumstances and what you’re applying for.

Course fee

You need enough money to pay for your course for 1 academic year (up to 9 months). The amount you need to pay will be on your Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS).

If you’ve been in the UK with a valid visa for at least 12 months, you do not need to prove you have this money for your visa application.

Money to support yourself (‘financial requirement’)

You’ll need to show you have enough money to support yourself – unless you’ve been in the UK with a valid visa for at least 12 months on the date of your application.

How much money you need depends on where you will be studying. You’ll need either:

• £1,334 per month (for up to 9 months) for courses in London
• £1,023 per month (for up to 9 months) for courses outside London

If you’re boarding at a residential independent school, you’ll need to pay boarding fees instead. The amount you need to pay will be on your CAS.

London means the City of London and the 32 London boroughs.

You must have this money for at least 28 consecutive days. The end date of the 28-day period must be within 31 days of the date you apply for your visa.

Example:- If you submit your application on 1 January 2024, you’d have to show that the funds were in your bank account for at least the 28-day period ending on 1 December 2023.

London
£1,334 x 9 Months = £12006 + First-year university free (funds have been held for 28 days must be from the 31 days)

Eg :- First-year university free £16000 if you are pay £10000 total balance £6000

so you have to show the funds £12006 + £6000 = £18006 in your account 28 days

Out of London
£1,023 x 9 Months = £9207 + First-year university free (funds have been held for 28 days must be from the 31 days)

Eg :- First-year university free £16000 if you are pay £10000 total balance £6000

so you have to show the funds £9207 + £6000 = £15207 in your account 28 days

If you have a student loan or financial sponsorship, you’ll need to provide evidence of this from your loan or sponsorship company.
