Student route essentials: Financial requirements

Understanding financial requirements is key to supporting students in their visa applications. This training course offers an in-depth overview of the financial requirements of the Student route and how the rules and guidance apply.   

This course will help you to:    

• Identify the relevant rules and guidance on financial requirements under the Student route, including evidence requirements.  
• Explore how students can meet financial requirements, including any exemptions.  
• Consider issues that may arise in meeting the requirements or obtaining the required evidence.  

This training will include presentations, the opportunity for you to ask questions and share your experience. It only covers requirements for the Student route. If you would like to find out more about different immigration routes, please search for other training courses or look at the UKCISA Manual.  

This training can be taken as a stand-alone course or in conjunction with the Student route essentials series, to develop your knowledge on specific requirements.
