Finally, the applicants must demonstrate access to sufficient funds to cover the tuition fees for at least the first year of the course, plus the cost of living in the UK, besides the fees payable to the Home Office. Calculated using a preset formula by the Home Office, these sufficient funds vary depending on the city where you’ll be staying within the country.
To summarise, we suggest carefully preparing your application for submission to minimize the risk of refusal. Besides the material costs and dedication associated with student visa applications to the UK, it is critical to note that not all unsuccessful application fees are refundable.
