It depends. The minimum balance required for visa financial proof is not a fixed ₹12 lakh and varies by country.

- New Zealand: You must show funds for living expenses (NZD 20,000/year), tuition fees, and a return ticket. The total required depends on your course fees and duration.
- France: From August 1, 2026, you must show at least €877.50/month for your stay, which is higher than before.

Exchange rates change, so the INR equivalent will vary.
