UK Student Visa Applications
Comprehensive support for UK student visa applications and extensions.
Overview
The UK Student visa (formerly Tier 4) allows international students to study at a registered UK educational institution. To apply, you must have a Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS) from a licensed sponsor institution.
The application requires you to demonstrate sufficient financial maintenance, meet English language requirements, and show that you are a genuine student. The rules around financial evidence are strict, and many applications are refused due to incorrect or insufficient documentation.
At MNS Solicitors, we guide you through every aspect of the student visa application, from verifying your CAS details to ensuring your financial evidence meets the specific requirements for your course and location of study.
We also advise on working while studying, the Graduate route (which allows you to stay and work in the UK for 2 years after graduating), and switching from a student visa to other categories.
Who Is This For?
- International students who have been accepted at a UK educational institution
- Students needing to extend their student visa for further studies
- Graduates wishing to switch to the Graduate route or a work visa
- Those whose student visa application has been refused
