Question

How much money do I need to show for a UK student visa from the Philippines?

Asked by Anonymous8 July 2026
Expert answer

UK Student visa financial requirement for Filipino applicants: course tuition fees for the first year + maintenance funds held for 28 consecutive days. Maintenance amounts: £12,006 maximum if studying in London (£1,334 x 9 months); £9,207 maximum if studying outside London (£1,023 x 9 months). If your tuition is already paid, you only need the maintenance portion. Funds can be in your account or your parents' account with a letter confirming relationship. Philippine banks are accepted — BDO, BPI, Metrobank, and major commercial banks all produce acceptable statements.
