Students plan applications around deadlines and then discover that the binding constraint was a transfer. In at least three of the seven destinations covered in our country guides, substantial sums have to leave your account before any visa decision exists — and the order in which they leave determines whether the cycle holds.
In preparation
The full guide is still being written.
We publish a guide once every figure in it has been checked against the government page it came from — and not before. The summary above is the whole of what we are prepared to state on this subject today. The official sources this piece will be built on are listed below, and until it is finished you are better served reading them than reading a draft of ours.
If this is the question in front of you now, put it to an advisor rather than waiting for the article. The answer for your file is always more specific than the answer for a page.
