No, you cannot apply for a UK student visa (Student Route/Tier 4) without a CAS (Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies).

What is CAS?
- The CAS is an electronic document issued by your chosen, licensed UK university or college, after you have received (and accepted) an offer and met all requirements (such as academic, English language, and deposit payment).
- It contains a unique reference number and details about your course, institution, and other necessary information.

Why is CAS Required?
- The UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI) requires this document as proof that you have been offered an unconditional place at a recognised UK educational institution.
- Without a CAS, your student visa application will be automatically refused.

When should you apply for the visa?
- You can only apply for a UK student visa after you have received your CAS from your institution, which is usually issued 3-6 months before the course start date.
