  • Prove English language proficiency through tests like IELTS or TOEFL, unless exempt.

  • Show financial evidence that you can cover tuition fees and living expenses (approximately £1,334 per month for London or £1,023 outside London).


3. Required Documents

Prepare the following documents:

  • Valid passport.

  • CAS letter issued by your university.

  • Bank statements or sponsorship letters proving sufficient funds.

  • Tuberculosis (TB) test certificate from an approved centre.

  • Academic certificates and English proficiency test results.


4. Application Process

  • Apply online via the UK Government visa website.

  • Pay the visa fee (£363) and Immigration Health Surcharge (£470 per year).

  • Book a biometric appointment at the visa application centre in Nepal.


5. Attend a Visa Interview

Be ready to discuss your course, university choice, and financial plans during the interview.
