Student visa support
Student visa support is for people who have a place, or expect to get one, at a university or college abroad and want help with the visa from offer letter to decision. Student applications depend on precise financial evidence and timing, so small details matter.
Who it is for
Students going to the UK, Canada, the USA or Australia for a degree or other course.
Parents or sponsors who are paying for a student and want to understand what evidence they will need to provide.
Students who have been refused before and want to apply again.
What is included
A check that your course and institution fit the student route for that country.
A plan for your financial evidence: whose money can be used, how long it must be held, and what the statements must show under the current rules.
A timeline from your offer to your course start date, including the earliest and latest sensible dates to apply.
Help with any written statements, such as a study plan, so they explain your own reasons clearly. We will not write them for you.
A final review of the application before you submit it, and interview practice where an interview is likely.
What you get at the end
A complete, checked application that you understand and can explain, plus a written note of anything you need to do after you apply, such as attending a biometrics appointment.
What we need from you
Your offer or acceptance documents from the institution.
Bank statements and other financial documents, from you or your sponsor.
Your academic certificates and any English language test results.
Details of any previous visa applications or refusals.
Limits you should know about
We cannot influence admissions decisions or visa decisions. Required funds, fees and processing times change, so we always check the official pages at the time you apply. If your case involves an appeal or other legal proceedings, we will refer you to a solicitor.
From first question to finished application
Every case makes the same four stops. You always know which one you are at, and what comes next.
