September 2026 intake gone, but ma January 2027 intake ko lagi plan gardai chu. Outside London university ho (Swansea side). Total UK lai kati kharcha dekhaunu parcha visa ma?
UK student visa 2026: visa fee, IHS ra maintenance funds kati?
Current figures (check gov.uk before you pay): - Student visa fee from outside UK: £524 - Immigration Health Surcharge: £776 per year of visa. Less than 6 months extra = £388 - Maintenance (outside London): £1,171 per month for up to 9 months, so £10,539, plus your unpaid first-year tuition
Swansea University has a clear PDF on this: https://www.swansea.ac.uk/media/Finances-for-Student-visa-applications-SEPT-2026.pdf
London courses need a higher monthly amount, so check if your campus counts as London.

Money must be in the account for 28 consecutive days and the statement must be dated within 31 days of your visa application. Most Nepali students fail on this 28-day rule, so don't move money in and out during that period.
IHS is paid for the full visa length, not the course length. UKVI adds extra months to the visa, so a 1 year masters usually means paying IHS for about 1.5 years.
