Visa |
Visa nationals need to get a student visa from their nearest British Embassy, Consulate or High Commission before arriving in Britain. In order to get this you will need to show the following: 1. Proof that you have been accepted for a full-time course (15 or more hours a week) at a reputable UK college or university. 2. A letter from your new school, college or university, on their official headed paper, to state that you have paid your deposit and/or tuition fees. 3. Proof that you have the funds to pay for your study and living expenses. This could be in the form of traveler's cheques in sufficient quantity to cover your expenses, a bank draft drawn on a UK bank, letters or bank documents from sponsors, or a combination of all these things. Immigration officials prefer a bank draft as this is the most difficult to forge and can be checked with the issuing bank. You will have to show that you will not have recourse to public funds. The longer your proposed stay, the more convincing your financial credentials will need to be. You must then submit the following (by hand or post) to the British Embassy or High Commission:
