Before you rely on this

  • The account must be in your parent's or legal guardian's name.
  • You will need your birth certificate (or other proof of the relationship) and a letter from your parents consenting to you using the money.
  • The balance must not drop below the amount to show on any day of the 28-day period.
  • The money must be held with a bank or financial institution UKVI accepts — ask NepliFly to check yours before the 28-day period starts.
  • Money for a partner or children (if allowed) is extra and not included here.

Figures checked 16 October 2026 — source: GOV.UK (money you need, Student visa fee). Government figures change — check GOV.UK before you pay or apply. This checker does not assess your documents or your bank, and it cannot tell you whether a visa will be issued — UKVI makes that decision. Results are a general guide based on published information, not an offer, an eligibility decision or immigration advice. The NepliFly team confirms everything with you before any application.
