UKVI 28-Day Bank Statement Rule

To secure a UK Student Visa, the UK Visas & Immigration (UKVI) requires you to hold your remaining tuition fees plus required living expenses in your bank account for at least 28 consecutive days.

Required Living Funds Calculation (9 Months):
• London Universities: £1,334 / month × 9 = £12,006
• Outer London Universities: £1,023 / month × 9 = £9,207

StudyCrest provides a 100% complimentary pre-submission bank audit to ensure your statement meets UKVI maturity and exchange rate criteria before lodging your visa file.
