Student Visa Terms and Provisions

UK student visas are based on a transparent Point Based System (PBS) which requires that students gain at least 40 points before applying for a visa. Here are some important points to be noted regarding the student visa application process:

• If students have applied to UK universities, they will need to wait till they receive the CAS (Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies) from the university before they start applying for a student visa
• Students will need to start applying three months before the starting date of the program. That is, if the classes are scheduled to start in September end, the CAS will be received by June end.
• Visa processing usually takes around eight weeks.
• A major point to note is that a student needs to have the entire program funding of tuition fees and living expenses for one year available in their bank account for a holding period of 28 days before submission of the visa application. To achieve this, the student should not make any debit transaction in their bank account which reduces the minimum balance below the required amount 28 days prior to submitting the visa application
• Institutions with the power to sponsor visas in this way are said to hold Tier 4 Sponsor
• The intention of leaving the UK after completing the degree must be clearly stated
