Student visa proof of funds

sophie854131

Hi..for student visa for France.

If the tuition fees and accomodation are prepaid, does it reduce the required amount for  proof of funds.

€1000-€2000 be accepted as shown for the proof of funds?

Or the full €7k+

How to calculate your required proof of funds

  1. Calculate the total required funds: The standard requirement is the annual tuition fee plus a monthly living cost of €615 for your entire program duration.
  2. Subtract prepaid amounts: Deduct the total amount of tuition and accommodation fees you have already paid from the total.
  3. Calculate remaining funds: The remaining amount is what you need to prove you have available to cover the rest of your living expenses. For example, if your program is for 12 months and you've prepaid your tuition, you would need to prove you have €615 x 12 in liquid funds to cover your living expenses.


What to provide as proof

  1. Prepaid amounts: Proof of these payments, such as receipts or official letters from the institution, is necessary.
  2. Remaining funds: You will need to provide a bank statement for the last three months showing the required remaining balance, or a steady monthly income of over €615.
  3. Other options: Other acceptable forms of proof include scholarship letters, sponsorship letters, or official student loan documents.

Thanks 🙏🏻😊

If accomodation is prepaid for €5000 a year and tuition for €2000 a year,that's €7000 and almost the full requirement..then showing €2000 will be accepted?
