Which country is cheapest to study in from Ghana?

It depends on the tuition your university charges, which we do not hold. On the government figures alone, the living money each country asks you to show differs a lot. The table on this page sets them side by side; add your own tuition in the calculator to compare like for like.

What is proof of funds for a student visa?

Evidence, usually bank statements, a blocked account or a sponsor's letter, that you can pay for tuition and living costs without working. Each country sets its own amount and its own rules on how long the money must be held.

Where do these figures come from?

From each government's own visa pages, read on 24 October 2026. Each figure links to its page. We do not use agency or blog figures, and we do not estimate tuition.

Is SchoolRegistry a study-abroad agent?

No. These pages are information only. We do not process applications or promise visas.
