The Ultimate Guide to UK Student Visas in 2026

The UK remains one of the top destinations for international students. In 2026, the process has become more streamlined but requires careful attention to detail. Here's a breakdown of the key requirements.

1. Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS)

Before you can apply for your visa, you must have a CAS from a licensed student sponsor. This is a unique reference number that confirms you've been offered a place on a course.

2. Financial Evidence

You must prove you have enough money to pay for your course for one academic year and support yourself. The amount required depends on whether you'll be studying in London or elsewhere.

3. English Language Proficiency

Most students will need to prove their knowledge of English by passing a Secure English Language Test (SELT) at an approved provider.
