About fees evidence
151. A Tier 4 (General) student that does not have an established presence studying in the UK, must show that he/she has money for his/her course fees plus:
• Inner London £1000 for living costs for each month of their course up, to a maximum of 9 months.
• Outer London or anywhere else in the UK £800 for living costs for each month of their course, up to a maximum of 9 months.
152. A Tier 4 (General) student that does have an established presence studying in the UK must show that he/she has money for his/her course fees plus:
• Inner London £1000 for living costs for each month of their course, up to a maximum of 2 months.
• Outer London or anywhere else in the UK £800 for living costs for each month of their course up to a maximum of 2 months.
163. If the Tier 4 (General) student can show that he/she has already paid all or some of his/ her accommodation fees to his/her Tier 4 sponsor before making his/her application, this amount will also be taken away from the total amount of money he/she will need to show for living costs up. The amount taken away cannot exceed a maximum of £1,000, even if the student has paid more than £1,000 in advance for accommodation.
For example, a Tier 4 (General) Student is studying inside Inner London, is on a course of more than 12 months, has paid their course fees in full and has an established presence.
The amount of maintenance they would need to show would be £2,000 (£1,000 for 2 months), however, as they have already paid £1,000 to their University as a contribution towards their accommodation, the amount they need to show is reduced to £1,000:
Amount of Maintenance - £2,000
Amount paid to Sponsor for accommodation - £1,000 Total maintenance they are required to show - £1,000.
This only applies if the Tier 4 (General) student will be staying in university or college arranged accommodation.
