    UK Study Visa

    Key requirements:

    You must have an offer to study from a licensed sponsor (a school or university)

    To prove this, you sponsor will provide you with a reference number called CAS (Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies)

    Once your CAS has been issued, you have 6 months to apply for your visa.

    How much it costs & money you need:

    The amount you need depends on your circumstances. You must have enough money to pay for 1 academic year (up to 9 months of studies). The exact amount will be inidicate on your CAS.

    Unless you have been living in the UK with a valid visa for the past 12 months, you will also have to demonstrate you have enough money to support yourself in the UK (also called maintenance or financial requirement).

    • £1,334 per month (for up to 9 months) for courses in London

    • £1,023 per month (for up to 9 months) for courses outside London

    For the Doctorate Extension Scheme: you need to prove you have a total of £2,668 for courses in London, or a total of £2,046 for courses outside London.

    You must have this money for at least 28 consecutive days. The end date of the 28-day period must be within 31 days of the date you apply for your visa.

    If you have a student loan or a sponsorship (e.g. scholarship), you need to provide evidence of those.

    We value your time. After the consultation, we will let you know what the next steps are. We will request the documents we need, and only call you when necessary. We are proactive, will update you on your case as soon as we have any news so that you don’t need to call, meaning you can rest assured that no actions are needed from your side.

    We haven’t forgotten about you, but we believe you’d rather spend time doing something that really matters than on the phone with a lawyer.
