Proof of money for a Student visa: the basics

Student applicants usually need to show they have enough money to pay fees and living costs.

The ideas to know

• The money must be held for a set period before you apply.
• Funds must be in the accepted form and from an accepted account holder.
• Evidence must be recent and match the format listed on gov.uk.

Tips for keeping evidence clean

1. Do not move money around close to your application date without checking the rules.
2. Keep statements with your name, account number and dates clearly shown.
3. If a parent or guardian is helping, ask them to read the guidance on accepted relationships and documents.

Always check

Amounts change. Use the figures on gov.uk, not a figure from a social media post.
