- English Proficiency: Proof of English proficiency through tests like IELTS, TOEFL, or equivalent (typically IELTS with a minimum of 5.5/6.0 overall, varies by institution and course).
- Financial Proof: You must show you have enough funds for tuition fees and living expenses.
- Living expenses as per UKVI (2024):
- London: £1,483 per month
- Outside London: £1,136 per month

2. Visa Application Process

- Receive your CAS from the university/college.
