Hi,

Please I want to know how long my passport must be valid for before I can apply for a UK student visa.

I plan to apply for the Visa in October, the course I want to go for starts in January 2018 but my passport expires on 31st May 2018. Is the validity of my passport too short or can I go ahead and apply?

Thanks.

You can still apply with that passport because you have more than 6months validity left on it

Please approve or disapprove as being correct!!

1. Someone said the intended date of travel and the school resumption date is always taken into consideration when issuing Tier 4 visa.
2. Tier 4 visa are issued for 30days validity period
3. The visa starts reading from the date of issue
4. Hence, the visa will not be issued until AT LEAST 30 days pre-departure or pre-resumption

Awaiting responses. Thank you all.

I doubt if it is a bad sign, however at this stage the best course of action you can take is to request for a two weeks (or more) extension from your school explaining how you might not be able to meet up with the actual resumption date due to circumstances beyond your control (you should explain in detail how ukvi has been stalling in its decision process).

This will give you ample time to prepare yourself , because as it is right now 20th is less than six days away.

You should also be optimistic, you might just get a decision before the 20th. What i can't just fathom is why it is taking so long.

No need to fret, it's a nationwide issue that we are all hoping would be resolved soon.

All the best.

Oh, if your course doesn't start till September then there is no cause for alarm.

Let's just all remain optimistic and hope for the best before the week runs out.

It's already 23 working days. Have you gotten decision mail yet? If not try contacting them because it has exceeded normal visa application timeline. Secondly are you a sponsored student by government or any organization?

I used priority last year at Ikeja and I got my visa after 4 working days but it's around October which I presume is not a peak period for them. I really don't know how priority works during July - August period.

I think you should not carry more than 10k dolls. Otherwise it's money laundering. You have to declare all cash on you.


Thank you. If the money is not up to 10k dolls I dont need to declare it right?....

I paid for Priority Access, Submitted my application at the centre in Abuja on 3rd August, it was sent to sheffield that same day but, decision is yet to be made. So what i think is paying for Priority Access means that your application will be pushed to the front from the centre however, (Correct me if I am wrong) I dont think the Officers in Sheffield will leave other applications to attend to yours. Premium Access might be different tho. Also Remember that this is Summer, so many people are travelling

Oga how far with your application?
Re: Uk Student Visa/tier 4 Pbs - Your Questions Answered Part 3 by CapitalCee(m): 9:40am On Aug 16, 2017
Hello guys, after submitting my application, can I still be told to submit my statement again? Because a lot of ins and outs have happened in that my account since 31st of July that I printed the statement. I will be having my interview and submission of documents next Monday.

Re: Uk Student Visa/tier 4 Pbs - Your Questions Answered Part 3 by 5hyguy: 9:51am On Aug 16, 2017
what you just need to make sure is that the required maintenance money and any balance (in pounds or equivalent) needs to be in your account for the period of 28 days before u apply, it has to be a recent statement of account

I'd advise you should try printing a new bank statement somewhere around Friday or Monday morning before submission.
Either ways, you need to submit the most recent Statement of Account.
