The UK government has announced an increase in the financial requirements for international students applying for visas in the UK. These changes will take effect from January 2, 2025.
It aims to ensure that students can support themselves and have sufficient funds during their study tenure with the rising living costs in the UK.
The new regulations state that international students now need to maintain GBP 1,483 per month up to nine months as compared to GBP 1,334 previously.
For students outside London, they need to maintain GBP 1,136 per month as compared to 1,023 previously. The increase in the financial requirement reflects the rising cost of living across the UK, which has increased the housing and daily expenses in the cities. These new regulations set to take off in January 2025 may impact the students who wish to study in the UK. However, we at IIE Education are here to guide you at every step.
