UK Student Visa 2026

Step-by-Step UK Student Visa Process from Vijayawada

Study2Migrate handles your entire UK visa application from our MG Road, Kanuru office. Here is exactly what happens from admission to landing in the UK.

1
Months 8โ€“12 Before Start

Profile Evaluation & University Shortlisting

Our counsellor at the Vijayawada office evaluates your academic profile โ€” 10th, 12th, degree marksheets, backlogs (if any), work experience, and budget. We shortlist 5โ€“8 universities with a strong chance of admission. Students from KL University, NTR University, VRSEC, Acharya Nagarjuna University, Siddhartha Engineering College, PVP Siddhartha, Vignan's University, and Godavari Institute regularly approach us. We know the entry requirements for each of these colleges and help you present your profile in the strongest way possible.

2
Months 6โ€“8 Before Start

IELTS / PTE Preparation & Test

Most UK universities require IELTS 6.0โ€“6.5 overall. We offer IELTS coaching at our Vijayawada office with mock tests, personalised study plans, and expert faculty. Students who prepare with us consistently achieve their target band within 6โ€“8 weeks. If you have already taken IELTS and your score is below requirement, we identify universities with conditional offers or English language pre-sessional programmes.

3
Months 5โ€“7 Before Start

SOP, LOR & Application Submission

We write and refine your Statement of Purpose (SOP) โ€” a critical document that explains your academic background, why you have chosen the UK, and your post-graduation career plan. Our team also guides you on obtaining strong Letters of Recommendation (LORs) from professors or employers. Applications are submitted to 5โ€“8 universities simultaneously to maximise your options.

4
Months 3โ€“5 Before Start

Conditional Offer โ†’ Unconditional Offer โ†’ CAS

Once a university is interested, they issue a Conditional Offer with specific requirements (e.g., final marksheets, IELTS score). After you meet these conditions, they issue an Unconditional Offer. The university then sends you a Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS) โ€” a unique reference number you need to apply for your UK Student visa. We track this entire process and follow up with universities on your behalf.

5
Months 2โ€“3 Before Start

Education Loan Sanction (If Required)

If you need an education loan, this is when we process it. We work with SBI, HDFC Credila, Auxilo, Avanse, InCred, and other banks and NBFCs. If your CIBIL score is low or you lack a collateral, we still explore options โ€” secured loans, co-applicant arrangements, or NBFCs with flexible criteria. Loan sanction letters are required for the visa application. Our Vijayawada office is experienced in handling loan cases for students from across Andhra Pradesh.

6
6โ€“8 Weeks Before Start

UK Student Visa Application (Online + Biometrics)

We prepare your complete visa application on the UKVI portal. Key documents include: CAS letter, financial evidence (โ‚น8โ€“10 lakhs in bank for 28 consecutive days before application), IELTS/PTE certificate, academic transcripts, English-medium certificate, tuberculosis (TB) test certificate (mandatory for India), passport, and photographs. After submission, you pay the visa fee (ยฃ490) and Immigration Health Surcharge (ยฃ776/year). We also assist in booking the biometric appointment at the VFS Global centre in Hyderabad. The IHS is paid online โ€” we guide you through this in our Vijayawada office.

7
3โ€“5 Weeks Before Start

Visa Decision & BRP Collection

Standard visa processing takes 3 weeks (15 working days) after biometric submission. Priority service takes 5 working days. Once approved, you receive a vignette sticker in your passport valid for 30 days to enter the UK. Your Biometric Residence Permit (BRP) โ€” the actual visa card โ€” must be collected from a UK Post Office within 10 days of arrival. We brief you on what to do at the airport and on arrival.

8
Before You Fly

Pre-Departure Briefing & Arrival Support

Before you board the flight, our team conducts a pre-departure briefing covering: what to carry in your hand luggage, what to say at UK border control, how to reach your university accommodation, opening a UK bank account (Monzo or Revolut recommended for Indian students), and connecting with our alumni network already living in your UK city. After you land, we remain available on WhatsApp for any support you need.
