What is Maintenance funds for UK Visa
Maintenance funds for a UK visa refer to the financial requirements that an individual must meet to demonstrate their ability to support themselves during their stay in the UK. These funds are intended to cover living expenses, including accommodation, food, transportation, and other essential costs.
The specific amount of maintenance funds required varies depending on the type of visa and the length of stay in the UK. The UK government sets these financial thresholds to ensure that individuals have sufficient funds to support themselves without relying on public funds.
- If studying in London: £1,334 per month for living costs, for up to nine months (for courses lasting nine months or more).
- If studying outside London: £1,023 per month for living costs, for up to nine months (for courses lasting nine months or more).
