Applying for a UK student visa can be a daunting process, especially for first-time applicants. With strict eligibility criteria and documentation requirements, even minor mistakes can delay your plans. That’s why Hannett Education offers personalized, step-by-step support to make your visa journey smooth and stress-free.
Here is a detailed breakdown of how we help:
Step 1: Confirm Your Offer and Receive CAS
The first step in applying for a UK student visa is receiving a Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS) from your chosen university. This is a unique reference number that confirms your admission and is essential for your visa application.
Hannett’s Role:
- We guide you in accepting your offer quickly and ensuring any conditions are met.
- We liaise with your university to expedite your CAS issuance.
Step 2: Prepare Your Financial Documents
UKVI requires students to show proof of sufficient funds to cover tuition and living expenses. Incorrect or insufficient documentation is a common reason for visa refusals.
Hannett’s Role:
- We provide a checklist of acceptable financial documents.
- We verify bank statements to ensure they meet the 28-day requirement.
- We help you obtain and organize sponsorship letters, if applicable.
Step 3: Complete the Visa Application Form (Online)
The next step is filling out the visa application form (Tier 4/Student Visa) online.
Hannett’s Role:
- We walk you through each section of the application.
- We check your answers for accuracy to avoid common errors.
- We assist in booking your biometric appointment.
Step 4: Prepare for Your Visa Interview (if required)
Some applicants may be asked to attend a credibility interview at a visa center.
Hannett’s Role:
- We provide sample questions and conduct mock interviews.
- We coach you on how to explain your study intentions and financial background confidently.
Step 5: Track and Receive Your Visa
Once your application is submitted, it will be processed by UKVI. This can take a few weeks depending on your country.
Hannett’s Role:
- We help track your application status.
- We advise you on what to do if your visa is delayed.
Step 6: Post-Visa Arrival Support
Once your visa is approved, you’re ready to travel!
Hannett’s Role:
