Do I need to have a bank guarantee (funds) to study in the UK or other countries?
No, a bank guarantee is not typically required to study in the UK, Ireland, or Austria. Instead, you must show proof of sufficient funds using personal bank statements, scholarship letters, or sponsor declarations.
- UK: Show funds for one year’s tuition (as per your offer letter) plus living costs (£1,334/month in London or £1,023/month elsewhere, up to 9 months).
- Ireland: Show proof of at least €6,000 paid toward tuition and access to €10,000 for living expenses.
- Austria: Show funds for full tuition and living costs for your stay, usually with recent bank statements or a sponsor declaration.
Requirements are subject to change and must be met with clear, verifiable documents.
Cash income, business income or no ITR?
See whether your funds and documents will pass the UK visa check.
