The medical insurance for international students in UK will cost £776 per annually. This is the Immigration Health Surcharge, paid during the visa application, along with the visa fees. This will allow the students to gain access to NHS services, which will make healthcare affordable, except for dental care, eye care, surgeries, or prescription medications. If there is a dependent accompanying the student, a separate Immigration Health Surcharge fee needs to be paid during the visa application fee payment. If one feels, one can add a private health insurance along with NHS services to cover the other aspects of healthcare, not covered

If your CAS (Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies) letter gets rejected, the first thing you should do is reach out to your university's international student office right away. They can help you understand why the rejection happened and explore your options. This might involve resolving any concerns that were mentioned, submitting more documents, or, if needed, applying for a new CAS letter to re-apply for your UK student visa. This is because a rejected CAS letter cannot be reused for visa applications.

A CAS letter is a unique number that confirms the acceptance of a student on a given course. This CAS letter is an electronic document generated using the UK's Home Office system and is an essential piece of document required for visa application.

Yes, it is possible to obtain a UK visa without an IELTS score if you are accepted into a university that does not require IELTS for admission. However, you may still need to demonstrate your English language proficiency through other means, such as documentation from your previous educational institution or alternative English tests.

No, you cannot appky for a PR in UK after living just for 2 years. In most cases, you would be required to have lived for a minimum of 5 years in the UK to apply for a PR in the UK (AKA Indefinite Leave to Remain in the UK).

No, you cannot extend your UK Graduate visa in any case. However, if you still need a legal work permit to continue working in the UK then you can apply for a skilled work visa or any other relevant work visa. You would need a registered employer to sponsor you for a skilled worker visa.

Your educational institute will send you a reference number called a confirmation of acceptance for studies (CAS) once they admitted you for the course. Candidates need to enter this number on their visa application.
