UK Student Visa Bank Statement Guide for Nepali Students 2026

A closing balance alone is insufficient: eligible funds normally must remain above the required level for 28 consecutive days.

Quick answer: Requirements differ by university and applicant. Use this guide to prepare, then confirm the exact course and visa rules before submission.

Timing rule

The end of the 28-day holding period must be within 31 days of the online application date. Check every daily balance and keep a currency buffer. One temporary dip can break the period.

Account and holder

Use an eligible account in the applicant’s name or, where permitted, a parent or legal guardian’s name with relationship evidence and written consent. The document should identify the institution, holder, account and dated balance history.

Final reconciliation

Calculate outstanding first-year course fees from the CAS and add the correct maintenance requirement. Confirm tuition payments are recorded as permitted and explain legitimate large deposits with source evidence.

Application checklist

Use evidence that matches your dates and claims.
Tailor the file to the exact university and course.
Keep names, dates, amounts and explanations consistent.
Retain the final submitted version for interview preparation.
Ask MKS Education for a sequence review before submission.
