Nick Woods just shy of £1k however one of the requirements of the STV is proof of at least $5k available in an account. This is inescapably the biggest barrier to entry.

@Sophie ********
that's not correct. I started my application a month ahead and got it after two weeks.You do not need to apply three months in advance. Also the STV is a Special Tourist Visa that gives you a permitted length of stay up to 90 days, not 60 days.
