Visas

Which Visa do I need?

You'll need to be sure that you are applying for the correct visa. We can help you choose the correct application process and help you progress through it. We will support you every step of the way. 

​

Make your UK study journey smooth, legal, and stress-free.

Applying for a visa can feel overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to be. Aspire Abroad is here to guide you through every step of the UK Student Visa process, from document preparation to post-arrival support. Whether you're applying from overseas or switching from another visa type, we’ll help you get it right first time.

What is a student visa?

If you're coming to the UK to study for more than 6 months, you'll need a Student Visa.

You must:

  • Be 16 or older

  • Have an offer from a UK university or college

  • Prove your English ability

  • Show you can cover your tuition and living costs

Don’t worry — we walk you through it all.

How we can help

Our team handles the full process for you:

  • Visa document checklist — so you don’t miss anything

  • CAS support — understanding and using your Confirmation of Acceptance

  • Financial guidance — how to show your proof of funds

  • Application walkthrough — we complete it together

  • Interview prep — if your visa requires one

  • Pre-arrival & BRP help — we stay with you until you land

Who we support

We’ve helped students from over 20 countries with:

  • First-time UK student visas

  • Visa refusals and reapplications

  • Switching from visitor or short-term visas

  • Bringing a partner or child as a dependant

  • Preparing for a Graduate Visa (Post-Study Work) after graduation

What you'll need

We’ll personalise your checklist, but most students need:

  • Valid passport

  • CAS letter from your UK university

  • Proof of money for fees + living costs (bank statements or sponsor)

  • English language test (such as IELTS for UKVI)

  • TB test (some countries only)

  • Parental consent if you're under 18

When to apply

  • Apply up to 6 months before your course starts (outside UK)

  • Apply up to 3 months before if you’re already in the UK

 

Most decisions come back in 3 weeks. We'll help you apply early to avoid delays.

What if it's refused?

Visa refused? We’ll help you:

  • Understand the reason

  • Correct your documents

  • Reapply quickly and properly

 

We’ve supported students through successful reapplications after refusal.

What about family?

If you’re studying a Master’s or PhD (9 months+), you may be able to bring your:

  • Spouse or partner

  • Children under 18

 

We’ll help you apply for dependants alongside your student visa.

Graduation?

The Graduate Visa lets you stay in the UK for 2–3 years after your course ends to:

 

✅ Work full-time
✅ Apply for longer-term visas
✅ Gain experience or switch into a Skilled Worker visa

​

Aspire Abroad will support this stage too.
