Increased funds required for Tier 1 applications from 14 June 2012
On 15 March 2012, a written ministerial statement was laid in Parliament outlining a number of changes to the Immigration Rules.
From 14 June 2012, the personal savings you must have to support your Tier 1 application will increase.
Because the personal savings must have been held for a consecutive 3 month period, if you plan to make a Tier 1 application on or after 14 June 2012, you must ensure the correct funds are held in your account as soon as possible.
