Below are the documents required to apply for the UK student route visa:
If you are under 18, responsible for any dependents, or not a citizen of the country you are applying for the visa, you may be required to provide more documents when applying for the UK student visa.
All documents should be in English; if not, they should be translated by an authorized translator. The translated documents must each have the name and signature of the translator and the date the document was translated and established as the correct translation of the original document.
You need proof of your command of the English language when applying for a UK student visa. There is usually an English language test like IELTS that you must pass to proceed with the visa application. The English language requirements vary for all educational institutions in the UK.
A UKVI officer may interview you and evaluate your English writing, reading, speaking, and listening skills, and the test will vary by academic level. Even if your English results are excellent, you may not be allowed entry to the UK if you can’t have a simple conversation in English without the help of an interpreter.
You must have a biometric residence permit to complete your visa application process. Make an appointment at UKVI to have your fingerprints and a digital photo of your face taken.
