Visa information

Student Visas for the United Kingdom

Are you from Bangladesh? You might need a student visa...

Don’t worry, everything is ok. We’re on it, and we’re doing all we can to make your search for the right international degree in the United Kingdom a little easier and more enjoyable. Still, while we’re catching up, you can always beat us to it and:

• Check if you really need a student visa.
  Since you’re from Bangladesh and planning full-time academic study in the UK, yes, you’ll definitely need a student visa.

• Start exploring the official UK government website.
  For Bangladeshi applicants, the British High Commission in Dhaka handles student visas. That’s where all the latest and most reliable information lives. Bookmark it, read it, reread it.

• Check the deadlines.
  The visa process can take several weeks, and missing a step or delaying your appointment could mean missing the start of your semester. Not the kind of plot twist you want.

• Go on a paperwork treasure hunt.
  Passport?
  Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS) from your UK institution?
  Visa application form, proof of accommodation, bank statements, English language test results, tuberculosis test results, academic transcripts… yes, the list is long. And yes, you’ll need every single piece.

• Start saving up.
  You’ll need to show you can financially support yourself while studying in the UK. That means proving you can cover tuition, living expenses, travel, visa fees, and maybe even your weekend cups of tea.

• Boost your English skills.
  Even if you’ve already taken IELTS, TOEFL, or other English tests - it never hurts to keep improving. Strong English skills help at your visa interview and make life in the UK so much easier.

All in all, getting your UK student visa might feel like a lot but it’s one big step toward an even bigger adventure.

Thanks and good luck!
