I am Russian and going to apply for UK Short-term study Visa for studying during few weeks in language school in UK. Don't I get the refusal if I firstly will make the bank statement, and only after that will pay study fee, avia tickets and so on.

Doing this way I want to show I have enough money, but after payments maybe not so much.

UPD:

In case you have enough money for paying study fee but no more, you have two "action sequence":

First action sequence:

  1. Make a bank statement
  2. Then transfer full payment to Language School
  3. Get invitation from school
  4. Apply for a visa with "not updated" bank statement where you had enough money

Second action sequence:

  1. Transfer full payment to Language School
  2. Get invitation from school
  3. Make a bank statement
  4. Apply for a visa bank statement where you might have not enough money as you transferred a lot for a study fee

Q: what to choose? Obviously first in less risky but is it legal?

It’s a bit of a Catch 22… If you don’t pay the fees for the program and have the documents from the school to prove your eligibility and admission, then your visa application may be refused. And you need to include financial documents that show you have sufficient funds available. You do not need to purchase flight tickets in advance; indeed, you are directed to wait until a visa decision before making those arrangements.

If finances are at issue, you may want to postpone application until you have enough money put aside to pay the school fees, airfare, and all other expenses (accommodation, maintenance).
