When your money has to be there
When your money has to be there
Not how much. The date.
For a student visa you must show money in the bank. Some countries also say how long it must stay there. This tool tells you the last day to put the money in. Miss that day and your visa can be refused, even if you have enough money.
How this one works

- Not needed
- Sources
- Schools’ and governments’ own websites
Nothing you type is sent unless you press a button that tells you first what it sends. If a school does not publish a number, the tool leaves it blank. It never guesses.

Why this one exists
The amount is the easy part
It is printed on a government page. Every consultancy quotes it.
The date is what catches people
Most countries require the money to have been sitting in the account for a set period. Move it a day late and the amount is irrelevant.
Every figure from a government page
Five countries, each with the source and the date it was checked, because a stale financial requirement is the most expensive mistake on this site.
Common questions
What is "seasoning"?
The period the funds must already have been in the account before you apply. The UK is 28 consecutive days. Others differ, and some do not publish one — those are shown blank rather than guessed.
Can I use my parents’ account?
Sometimes, with specific evidence of the relationship and their consent. The rules differ by country and are one of the more common refusal reasons, so read the source link before assuming.
Why are some countries missing a date?
Because the authority does not publish one. We show the blank rather than invent a figure somebody would book a flight around.
When to talk to a person
This tool works from published facts. It cannot tell you which school to pick, how to explain a gap in your CV, or what your story is. Our consultants help with that.
