MAINTENANCE RULE

[lokoeasy]

Hi everyone,
I am planning to apply for my post study work permit soon and would want to know if the maintenance rule means there must be a closing balance of 800 pounds in the account at anytime for the three months preceeding the application or that there must be a balance of 800 pounds at the end every month for the three months preceeding the application.

The balance must show that you have had at least £800 in your account at all times over the three-month period for applications submitted within the United Kingdom, and £2,800 for applications submitted outside the United Kingdom.

Hi everyone,
I am planning to apply for my post study work permit soon,and want to know if i am still within the rule as i withdraw some money from my bank account for an urgent need and the balance falls below 800 pounds,but was able to make up the balance on the same day.

No, you will NOT be within the rules if you allow your balance to fall below £800. Please do not make the mistake of letting your balance fall even by 1p at any time within the 3 months statement otherwise your application WILL be refused.
