First year = the lowest published tuition, twelve months of the lowest published living costs and the visa fee, from each country's official sources (open a country for its sources and check dates). Converted at the day's rate (2026-11-08). Rates by Exchange Rate API. Countries that publish no tuition or living-cost figure are not ranked. Where the visa asks to see more money than the first-year figure, the table says so: you need the larger sum in your account before you apply.
