We want to highlight an important change in this Statement for Students applying for immigration permission under the ‘Student’ route on or after 11 November 2025.
The amounts of money Students will be required to have available as evidence of meeting the maintenance requirements are increasing, for those applying under the Student route on or after 11 November 2025. The new amounts are as follows:
£1529 per month in London (up to a maximum of 9 months)
£1171 per month outside London (up to a maximum of 9 months)
The maximum amount of money that can be offset for accommodation will also be increased in line with the changes to the maintenance requirement. This will be £1529 for those applying under the Student route on or after 11 November 2025.
For an explanation of ‘financial requirements’ for those applying under the ‘Student’ immigration route, please see UKCISA – international student advice and guidance – Student route: eligibility and requirements.
