The amount of bank balance required for a UK student visa depends on several factors, including the duration of your course, whether you are studying in London or outside London, and whether you have already paid for your accommodation. As of the latest information, for a Tier 4 (General) student visa:
Tuition Fees: You must have enough money to pay your tuition fees for the first year of your course.
Living Costs: You need to demonstrate that you have enough money to cover your living costs, which are currently estimated at:
£1,334 per month (for up to 9 months) if you are studying in London
£1,023 per month (for up to 9 months) if you are studying outside London
Accommodation Costs: If your accommodation costs are not included in your tuition fees, you will need to show additional funds for this.
Duration of Stay: You will need to provide evidence that you have enough money to cover your living costs for the duration of your course, up to a maximum of 9 months.
It’s essential to check the UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI) website or consult with your chosen university for the most current financial requirements and guidelines.
