So y i§ there a space below the question where you would have 2 enter your maintenance fee b4 totaling d̶̲̥̅̊ entire money?

The issue of maintenance fees has been dealt with in 6.8 where it says.......

Y[b]ou must have £800 per month to cover maintenance in
the UK (up to a maximum of 9 months).
See the Tier 4 Policy Guidance for a full explanation of maintenance
charges. Calculate the amount you will require and enter this in the
space provided. [/b]

then there is box where you have to write the £7200

Oh I'd appreciate that. Thanks!
Yes is the correct option, ticking no would mean that you have financial sponsorship that covers your maintenance and tuition.

If she ticks "no" in section 6.17,She will have to jump to part 7 and will not be able to fill 6.18, 6.19 and 6.20

You don't fill every section of the form, that is why you are given choices, yes or no, you tick the one that directly applied to your situation.

If she is owning the school some remaining fees then yes she will tick Yes and complete the form.

This is the part i was just going to quote. i think this just about settles it.

"Put a cross here if you do not have any course fees or maintenance outstanding because your official financial sponsor has agreed to pay all your fees and all your living costs and move to part 7.

If you do not have an official financial sponsor, or if your official financial sponsor has not agreed to pay for your full course fees and living costs - do not put a cross here - instead put a cross in the YES box."


1. I do have maintenance fee 'outstanding'... ( can we all agree our understanding of the term outstanding and ukba's definition are different)
2. I do not have an official financial sponsor hence whatever our understanding or disagreement with the terms stated here, this paragraph firmly settles it; ticking Yes is correct.

Thanks everyone for taking the time to painstakingly go over this with me.

Hi everyone,

i've got about 300 pounds with me. can i just take 290 to pay for the visa fee or it has to be in naira?

Also i've seen people saying they paid 78k, is that right? if ukba page states 286 pounds, how does that translate to 78k? undecided

You are not yet readygringringrin
The day you get ready, you will pay. It's the consular rate of exchange nothing can be done about it. As to whether its a rip off, that's a topic for another day.
Visa is 78,030. You will also pay 400 for sms and 500 for VFS charges, that's like 79k. That's the amount it will cost you. Just take 79k there and then take your passport there before you enter, that's another 1k so 80k.

Hey! Don't mix it up!!!
In the UKBA guideline,its stated that the conversion rate would be based on the oanda rate on the day of submission,that is for the money in your account for maintenance!!
The 270NGN rate is for Visa fees,this is fixed at a flat rate cuz it'll be confusing to have d fee constantly changing due to currency flunctuations,that rate will take care of any flunctuation (although they are still thieves sha!!).
You cannot pay for the visa fees in a foreign currency (in GBP) sterling bank will not accept it from you,unless u've paid online in which case the day's rate would ave been used for you.
Like justwise stated earlier,u will not be penalized if u didnt add d Oanda printout,its simply a guide.
In any case,its always better to ave a little excess in your account to cater for flunctuations,so if u use 270NGN to calculate ur maintenance requirements,you are safer,but its not compulsory.

This is from UKBA.............158. If a Tier 4 (General) student is using overseas currency, we will expect him/her to show
(write on their application form) the closing balance in pounds sterling. We use the official
exchange rate on the OANDA website, which can be found at www.oanda.com/convert/classic.

Traveling a week before your start date seem more appropriate if its your first time in the UK.

Please don't resign your job, take a study leave, though the UK embassy will not ask for your resignation letter.

@sasundar

Its not the business of the embassy whether you resign your job or not, that is between you and your employer.

You need to disuse your intention with your employer on time so as to leave in peace and return to your job after your course in the UK.
