In addition to the money you need to support yourself, your dependent partner and children must have a certain amount of money available for them.

The amount of money depends on where you are studying. For example, if you are studying in London, you must have £845 per month (for up to 9 months) and if you are studying elsewhere, you must have £680 per month (for up to 9 months).

If you are applying for the visa at the same time as your family you’ll need to prove that you have a sufficient amount of money to support yourself, your study and your family.

Client Testimonial

MBBS Abroad is a big decision and your success depends upon the honesty of your consultant. It is a long process starting from choosing the right college to reaching there at college door step and finally studying there for next 5-6 years. You are in a new country without many old friends. We were sure to approach a consultant who is based out of our district only so that not only during admission but for next 6 years, we can have smooth interactions. So, we approached GKWorks as they have a branch in Saharanpur. As we anticipated, there are lot of things to be done during admission process that goes for 3-4 months. At every step, it was useful for us to have our consultant who was only 20 minutes’ drive from our home. We were able to discuss everything face to face any day and thus were able to have easy process.
