I’ve been accepted to a UK university for September 2025 entry and applied independently. I need guidance on the next steps, specifically regarding the visa application timeline. Any helpful links or advice would be greatly appreciated!
That’s awesome, congrats! Handling the application yourself is a big achievement. Don’t worry, the visa process has a lot of info online, but it can be overwhelming. First things first, have you received your Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS) from the university?
Yeah, the CAS is key. The university will issue that to you once you’ve met their conditions, like paying any required deposit. You need the CAS number to apply for your student visa (Tier 4 or Student visa, as it’s called now)
Oh, I haven’t received that yet. I’ve paid my deposit, though. I’ll check with the university about the CAS. So, once I have that, I can start the visa application?
