Visa for UK bound Students
From March 2009, a new Points Based System is being introduced, whereby students will be able to work out whether they have sufficient points before they make a visa application.
To gain a student visa, applicants will have to score 40 points against two sets of objective criteria below:.
· Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS) from a College with Sponsor License: 30 points
· Maintenance and Fund Test: 10 points
Under the new system, a student’s visa will be ‘locked’ to the Sponsor that issued them with the CAS used for their visa application.
Each student will be issued with the CAS provided that he or she meets the following College and UK Government requirements:
· Is educationally qualified to follow successfully the chosen course
· Is expected to follow a full-time course of study
· Has an acceptable study/career plan which includes any intended further and higher study after completing the College course, and/or employment plans on return to the home country.
In order to successfully secure a visa, it is important that the correct procedures are followed.
