Limits of the record
  • The captured official text truncates the final document item at “An open return tick a”; the intended wording and full requirement are not established by this capture.

What are the most important financial or study-related conditions: tuition, funds, insurance, full-time study, attendance or equivalent?

The official guideline does not state a minimum funds, tuition or income threshold. It states a Student Visa fee of USD 50 where the academic programme does not exceed 90 days and USD 250 where it exceeds 90 days, and requires a host-institution letter detailing the course or field and programme duration. Its fee table also lists USD 300 and USD 550 without identifying the corresponding student categories, so those amounts cannot be assigned from the official source.
