Student visa funds: a change is coming in November
What is changing?
HC 584 increases the Student route maintenance requirement and the accommodation deposit offset. The memorandum gives 30 November 2026 as the commencement date for this uplift.
Your next step
If you are preparing a Student application, ask your university’s international student team to confirm the financial evidence and amounts that apply to your application date. Do not assume an older savings calculation is still sufficient.
This is an upcoming rule change, not a change already in force on our check date.
