Student visa requirements and documents

You'll need evidence to show that you meet all Student visa requirements by date of application. What you need to show depends on a variety of factors, including your nationality, where you live, what you study and where you make your application. There are key differences between applying for a Student visa from outside or inside the UK.

You will need a valid passport and Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS) number to apply for a visa from outside the UK. You may also need to submit additional documents depending on your circumstances.
