Flights, accommodation, insurance, documents and any course or professional costs vary. Add your own quotes to the planner. Missing amounts are marked clearly, and financial evidence is kept separate from spending.
Frequently asked questions
Does this budget establish eligibility?
No. Use the official authority to check the route and the conditions that apply to you. A cost calculation is not an immigration decision.
Are proof of funds and expenses the same?
No. Financial evidence shows that money is available; some of it may later pay living costs or tuition. Adding both figures can double-count the same money.
What does Premium include?
Premium unlocks this plan’s full roadmap, checklist, savings planner and downloadable guide. It does not include government fees or visa representation.
