No matter where you are applying from, there is a good chance that you get asked to attend an interview. The purpose of these interviews is to determine students’ intentions to study in the UK.

The required documents depend on the type of visa. Please contact us to get detailed information.

CAS stands for Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies. This is an electronic letter issued by the university in regards to your application for a student visa. The letter includes information such as your personal details, course of study, and a unique CAS number.

Each visa application has a unique CAS number; therefore, you cannot use a CAS number twice. After the CAS numbers are issued, they are valid for six months. If your visa application is refused, you should contact the proper authorities for further instructions.

The first step after receiving your offer from your chosen institution is to accept it. The next step is that you have to meet all the conditions of your offer. Then, your CAS will be issued.

BRP stands for the biometric residence permit. Your BRP will include information such as your name, your fingerprints, your immigration status, date and place of birth.

If you have made your visa application from inside the UK, your BRP will be sent to you. If you applied from outside the UK, you should collect your BRP once you are in the UK. Note that you should have your passport or travel document with your vignette sticker with you.

If your dependants who are included in your student visa application want to collect their BRPs from the University, should have their passport with them. You should make an appointment to collect your BRP and your dependants can come with you. Note that each dependant must have their passport with them.

You should make an application for an extension on your visa before its expiry date. If your visa gets expired while you're in the UK, you will be categorised as an ‘overstayer’.
