    TIER 4 VISA APPLICATION – FINANCIAL EVIDENCE REQUIREMENTS

    Before you can apply for your visa, you will need to show that you have sufficient money to pay your tuition fee PLUS
    a fixed amount of money for living expenses, known as Maintenance.

    Your deposit and any other sum of money already paid towards tuition fees will be deducted from the total amount of
    money you will need to show. Please see example below;
    Length of course Maintenance (funds) needed For example

    More than 9 months First year of course fees If your tuition fee for your first year of study are
    (1 academic year) £12,500 and you have paid a deposit of £3,000, then
    Plus your remaining tuition fee to show will be £9,500.

    £9,135 to cover living costs for 9 You would need to show £9,135 (living costs) +
    months in the UK (£1,015 per £9,500 = £18,635 in available funds.
    month)

    Before we issue a CAS, we check the financial documents you will use for your visa application to ensure it meets the
    criteria set out in the UK Immigration Rules and give you the best chance of being granted a visa. The UK
    Immigration Rules are not flexible and your evidence must meet the criteria set out in the UKVI Tier 4 Policy
    Guidance (Pages 48 -53) exactly.

    Your evidence must demonstrate you have at least £9,135 for living costs plus all of the remaining tuition fees
    for the first year of your course (see above example). Please note, to account for currency fluctuations, if the funds
    are not held in UK pound sterling, we expect evidence to demonstrate a 5% surplus before we issue a CAS.

    Bank Statements
    The most common document used to demonstrate finances is a bank statement.

    Your original bank statements must show a 28 day period and include ALL of the following information:
    Your name or your parents*/legal guardians name
    The account number
    The amount of money available
    The financial institutions name and logo

    The bank statement must be dated within 31 days of your planned visa application date and the balance must not
    drop below the required amount for 28 consecutive days – not even 1 pence below that amount for a single day.
    Please note, the 28 day period ends on the closing balance of your bank statement.

    Some financial institutions (e.g Banks) are not accepted by UKVI, please check Immigration Rules (Appendix P)

    If you are using your parents' or legal guardians' bank statements then you must also provide:
    Your original birth (or adoption) certificate showing the names of your parents/legal guardian PLUS a letter from your
    parents/legal guardians that confirms the relationship between you and your parents/legal guardian and that they have
    given their consent to you using their funds to study in the UK.

    You can use electronic bank statements, if they meet all of the above requirements and bear the official stamp of
    the bank on each page.

    A Building Society pass book or letter from the bank are also acceptable if they met all of the above requirements
    and confirm the required funds have been available for 28 consecutive days.
