1 July 2014:  maintenance for Tier 4 applicants and their dependants

The required maintenance will increase for Tier 4 applicants and their dependants, for applications made on or after 1 July 2014.  The Home Office has explained that this early notice will allow applicants enough time to arrange any extra money now required.

At the same time, the maximum deduction from the required maintenance will increase from £1000 to £1020.  This deduction can only be applied for money paid to the Tier 4 sponsor for accommodation fees in university-managed housing.

The new monthly figures for Tier 4 applicants their dependants are as follows. In most cases, you will need to show up to 9 months’ worth of funds, so multiply the figure by 9.  If you have “established presence”, you can show up to 2 months’ worth of funds, so you would multiply the figure below by 2.
