Studying abroad is an investment in your future. At WTS Visa Consultancy, our core culture is based on
honesty-we ensure you are never charged unjustified amounts and that you have a crystal-clear understanding
of your financial commitments from day one.
Financial stability is not just a personal concern; it is the single most critical requirement for visa
approval across all major study destinations. Our experts simplify the complex process of proving funds,
helping you navigate official requirements with precision and confidence.
Every study destination requires you to demonstrate that you possess sufficient funds to cover your tuition fees and living expenses for a set period. This is the Visa Financial Requirement, and it is the first hurdle we help you clear effortlessly. Failure to meet these exact figures and documentation standards is a leading cause of visa rejection.
| Country | Annual/Monthly Minimum Requirement (Approx.) | Key Visa Condition & Documentation Rule |
|---|---|---|
| Canada 🇨🇦 | C$20,635/year (Single Student) | Funds must be available for at least 12 months. The funds must be held in your account for a minimum of 30 consecutive days immediately before the application date. |
| Australia 🇦🇺 | A$29,710/year (Single Student) | Must show funds to cover travel, 12 months of living costs, and tuition fees (minus any payments already made). Funds must be genuine and accessible. |
| UK 🇬🇧 | £1,334/month (London) or £1,023/month (Outside London) | Funds must cover the remaining balance of your first year’s tuition fee plus up to 9 months of living costs. Funds must be held for 28 consecutive days ending no more than 31 days before the application. |
| USA 🇺🇸 | Varies (as per I-20 Form) | The required amount is detailed on the Form I-20 issued by your university and covers tuition and a 9-month estimate of living costs. Documentation must prove the full amount is readily available. |
| New Zealand 🇳🇿 | NZ$20,000/year (Single Student) | Must show funds to cover your course duration or for a maximum of 12 months. Evidence must be less than one month old at the time of submission. |
Our visa preparation services guarantee precise documentation. We provide a comprehensive checklist and perform extensive checks to ensure your financial proof (bank statements, education loan sanction letters, sponsorship affidavits) adheres to the country-specific duration rules (e.g., 28-day rule, 30-day rule), preventing the biggest cause of visa delays or denial.
The official minimum is a baseline to satisfy immigration. Your actual cost of living will depend heavily on your chosen city, accommodation style, and personal habits. We provide realistic estimates to help you create a sustainable budget.
| Expense Category | Canada (CAD) | Australia (AUD) | UK (GBP) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Accommodation (Shared/Off-Campus) | C$600 - C$1,200 | A$700 - A$1,500 | £550 - £950 |
| Utilities & Internet | C$100 - C$200 | A$80 - A$180 | £70 - £130 |
| Food & Groceries | C$350 - C$550 | A$400 - A$600 | £250 - £400 |
| Local Transport (Pass) | C$100 - C$150 | A$80 - A$180 | £70 - £150 |
| Personal/ Miscellaneous | C$150 - C$300 | A$200 - A$400 | £150 - £300 |
| Estimated Total Monthly Cost | C$1,300 - C$2,400 | A$1,480 - A$3,060 | £1,090 - £1,930 |
Note: These are estimates. Costs in major metropolitan hubs like Toronto, Sydney, London, and New York will consistently be at the higher end of the range.
The cost difference between a capital city and a regional city is often the single most significant factor in your budget.
| Country | Highest Cost City (Example) | Regional/Lower Cost City (Example) | Potential Monthly Saving (Approx.) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Canada | Vancouver / Toronto | Halifax / Winnipeg | C$300 - C$600 |
| Australia | Sydney / Melbourne | Adelaide / Perth | A$400 - A$800 |
| UK | London | Manchester / Glasgow | £300 - £500 |
Our Customised Profile Evaluation: We assess your academic goals and financial capacity simultaneously. By suggesting reputable institutions in Regional Centres, we can significantly relieve your financial burden while often increasing your chances for post-study work and permanent residency pathways (especially in Australia and Canada).
Your foreign journey is made tension-free when you have a robust financial plan. Our services extend beyond visa stamping to ensure your financial success abroad.
Demonstrating secured funds is key to visa approval. Our Education Loan Service gets you in touch with the best loan deals at reasonable interest rates. We liaise with financial institutions to expedite the process, ensuring:
Prompt Sanction Letter: A legally accepted document for embassy submission.
Competitive Rates: Access to the most favourable interest rates and repayment structures.
Most student visas allow you to work part-time (typically 20 hours per week during academic sessions and full-time during breaks). While this income should NOT be used to meet the initial visa financial requirement, it is essential for covering living expenses and building local experience.
Average Hourly Wage: $15-$25$ (Canada), $23-$30$ (Australia), $11-$15$ (UK).
WTS Guidance: We provide a pre-departure briefing on local employment laws, tax regulations, and how to effectively balance work and study.
Students often overlook one-time setup costs and local saving strategies.
Hidden Costs to Budget For:
| Cost Item | Typical One-Time Cost | WTS Solution |

| Initial Accommodation Deposit | 4-8 weeks rent (refundable) | We assist in reviewing lease agreements to secure fair terms. |
| OSHC/Health Insurance | A$600 - A$1,200/year (Mandatory) | We ensure you have the correct, visa-compliant health cover before submission. |
| Flight Ticket | Varies by season/country | We assist with air ticketing services to secure the best rates and travel insurance. |
| Winter Clothing | C$300 – C$700 (For Canada / Northern USA) | Advised to buy some items locally for better quality and appropriate protection. |
