Step-by-Step Guide to Applying for a UK Study Visa

1. Choose the Right Visa Type

To study in the UK, you will typically need a Student Visa (Formally known as Tier 4) if you are enrolling in a long-term course. If your course lasts less than six months, you may apply for a Short-Term Study Visa.

2. Check Eligibility Requirements

To be eligible for a UK Student Visa, you must:

• An Offer Letter from a UK University or an educational institution with a Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS).
• English Language Proficiency (IELTS, TOEFL, or equivalent tests may be required).
• Sufficient funds to cover tuition fees and living expenses.
• Valid Passport and other necessary relevant documents as needed.

3. Complete the Online Application

You must apply online through the UK Government’s Website/ UK Visa and Immigration (UKVI). The application includes:

• Filling Out the Online Visa Application.
• Paying the Immigration Health Surcharge (IHS) Fee and Visa Application fee.
• Scheduling a biometrics appointment at the nearest UK Visa Application Center in Jalandhar, Chandigarh, or Delhi.

4. Prepare Supporting Documents

Along with your Visa Application, you need to submit:

• CAS letter from your UK University.
• Proof of Funds (bank statements or sponsor letters).
• Academic Transcripts and Certificates.
• English Language Proficiency (IELTS, TOEFL, or Equivalent Tests)
• A valid TB Test Certificate (if required).
• Other Additional Documents (if required or asked by UKVI/UK Home Office)

5. Attend the Visa Interview (if required)

In some cases, you may be called for a credibility interview. During this, a UKVI Visa Officer will assess your study plans and financial capability.

6. Wait for Visa Decision

Once you submit your documents and attend the appointment, your visa application is processed. This usually takes 3 to 4 weeks (count working days only). Once a decision on your application is taken you will receive updates regarding your application from UKVI through emails or in some cases over phones calls.

7. UK’s New Point Based System for Visa Approval

As UK has replaced older five-tier visa system with a points-based system and Student visa has replaced the Tier 4 (General) student visa. Now Students need to accumulate 70 points for Visa approval:
