To study in the United Kingdom, you need to apply for a Student Visa. EDUKAS is here to support you throughout the entire application process.
Universities send acceptance letters called CAS (Course of Availability) to students for use in the visa application process. You can request your CAS letter from the school through your EDUKAS consultant.
The school and accommodation fees must be deposited in your current account or your sponsor's current account at your bank for 28 consecutive days prior to your visa interview appointment. (Accommodation costs in London are £12,006, and outside London £9,207, as determined by the visa department.) You can find out the exact amount from your consultant when it's time for the visa process.
You will need a passport that is valid for at least 6 months.
If your mother or father will be financially sponsoring you for your education, you can easily obtain a certified copy of your birth certificate through the e-government system to prove their relationship.
The most up-to-date versions of these documents, as stated in your CAS document, are uploaded electronically during the visa application process.
Students under the age of 18 who are about to begin their education in England can obtain this document, confirming their parental permission, with the assistance of a notary.
If the student's education and living expenses are covered by the parents, a petition proving this must be provided, or if the student receives a scholarship from an institution (such as YLSY), a document from the institution proving this must be obtained.
The translation of required documents and completion of forms for the visa application will be done with the assistance of your EDUKAS consultant.
Your advisor will inform you if any additional documents are required for your visa application.
