Securing your seat is just the beginning. The UK visa process is highly technical, revolving around strict financial rules and the critical "CAS" number. Here is your step-by-step roadmap.
Unlike other countries, the university does not issue your visa document immediately after payment. You must pass their internal "Pre-CAS Checks" first. This often involves:
To get your visa, you must show you have the Remaining Tuition Fees + Living Expenses (approx £9,207 for outside London or £12,006 for London) in a bank account for 28 consecutive days.
The balance must not drop below the required amount for even a single day.
If you are staying in the UK for more than 6 months (which you are), you need a Tuberculosis (TB) clearance certificate.
You cannot go to just any doctor. You must book an appointment with a UKVI Approved Clinic only. The certificate is valid for 6 months.
Once the university is satisfied with your Pre-CAS Interview and Financial Documents, they will issue the CAS (Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies).
With your CAS Number + TB Certificate + Bank Statement, we file the visa.
Approx £490 (Standard Service). Processing time is usually 15 working days.
This fee (approx £776/year) gives you access to the NHS (National Health Service) for free doctor visits and hospital care.
The 28-day rule calculation can be tricky. Send us your latest bank statement, and we will verify if it meets UKVI compliance standards before you print it.
