<p class="" data-start="1076" data-end="1316">The United Kingdom has one of the most structured, yet demanding, immigration systems for international students. To study in UK, you generally need a Student visa (previously known as Tier 4 visa), which requires several prerequisites:

<ul data-start="1318" data-end="1570">
<li class="" data-start="1318" data-end="1372">
<p class="" data-start="1320" data-end="1372">An unconditional offer from a licensed UK university

</li>
<li class="" data-start="1373" data-end="1421">
<p class="" data-start="1375" data-end="1421">A Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS)

</li>
<li class="" data-start="1422" data-end="1469">
<p class="" data-start="1424" data-end="1469">Proof of sufficient funds to support yourself

</li>
<li class="" data-start="1470" data-end="1530">
<p class="" data-start="1472" data-end="1530">English language proficiency (usually IELTS or equivalent)

</li>
<li class="" data-start="1531" data-end="1570">
<p class="" data-start="1533" data-end="1570">Valid travel documents and biometrics

</li>
</ul>
<p class="" data-start="1572" data-end="1726">Each of these elements is time-sensitive and highly detail-oriented. A minor error in financial documentation, for instance, could lead to a visa refusal.



<p class="" data-start="1728" data-end="2126">Unfortunately, many students attempt to manage the visa process independently, relying on information scattered across the internet or outdated forums. While DIY approaches may work for some, the risks are substantial&mdash;especially for students unfamiliar with visa procedures or those with complicated cases. This is why more students are turning to professional immigration consultancy services.
