Key Highlights of UK Student Visa Process
Preparing a UK Student Visa file requires strict compliance with UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI) guidelines.
1. Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS)
Your CAS is a unique reference number issued by your UK university after fulfilling conditional offer requirements and paying your initial tuition deposit.
2. Financial Requirements & 28-Day Rule
Outer London: Tuition fee balance + £1,023/month living expenses (up to 9 months = £9,207). Inner London: Tuition fee balance + £1,334/month living expenses (up to 9 months = £12,006). * Funds must remain continuously in the bank account for at least 28 consecutive days before the visa application date.
3. Tuberculosis (TB) Medical Clearance
Pakistani applicants must obtain an official TB test certificate from an IOM-approved clinic in Islamabad, Lahore, Karachi, or Peshawar prior to visa submission.
4. Credibility Interview
UKVI conducts credibility interviews to verify the student's genuine intention to study in the UK.
