The UK is set to increase the financial maintenance requirement for international students applying for Student visas from November 2026. Under the revised rules, students will need to demonstrate sufficient funds to cover higher living costs during their stay. The change is part of broader amendments to the UK’s Immigration Rules announced by the Home Office. The existing framework already requires applicants to show funds for accommodation and living expenses, with different thresholds for London and other parts of the UK. The increase could raise the upfront financial burden for students, including Indians planning to pursue higher education in Britain.
