The UK Student Route is a points-based immigration system. To qualify for a visa, you need to score 70 points. Fortunately, these points are straightforward if you have your paperwork organized.

### Points Breakdown:

CAS (Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies): Worth 50 points. This is issued by your university sponsor once you accept an unconditional offer.

Financial Requirement: Worth 10 points. You must prove you have enough funds to cover your tuition fees for the first academic year and your living expenses for up to 9 months.

English Language Requirement: Worth 10 points. Usually proven by passing an approved secure English language test (SELT) like IELTS, or if the university certifies your language skills on your CAS.

### Document checklist:

Valid Passport

CAS reference number

Bank statements showing funds held for 28 consecutive days

Tuberculosis (TB) test certificate (if applying from certain countries)

IHS (Immigration Health Surcharge) payment
