主要是申请费的增加，maintenance funds for Tier 4 and Tier 5的要求提高了，伦敦以内提高到1000镑每月，伦敦以外提高到800镑每月。以及下面的一些变化：
As previously announced, a number of changes to the Immigration Rules are coming into effect on 6 April.
These include changes for migrants coming to the UK under the following routes of the points-based system:

In addition to these changes the government is also increasing from 6 April, the funds that applicants will need to provide evidence of, in order to meet the maintenance requirements for Tier 4 and Tier 5 (Youth Mobility Scheme).
