You can use the following link to calculate how much you need to pay for IHS. Just input your course start and end dates.

Please correct me if I'm wrong, is the payment for IHS not after the visa has been granted? What happens if the visa is not granted? Will there be a refund of the money paid for IHS?

Yes, the IHS will be refunded if the visa is not granted.

No you pay it the same time you pay for visa application fees, if visa is refused it will be refunded.

Is it compulsory everyone going to the UK pay for IHS?

Okay, thank you

Devisiyi:

Nope, for visit visa , you don’t have to pay for IHs.

That was a typo. Thanks.

Zeecos:

Visa fee is £348 not £340

LaaJiblik:


I really, really do not think bonds can be used as proof-of-funds.

Why not convert the bonds to ‘real’ cash, dump it in your current or savings account for 30 days, and apply ?

Thank you for your response!!

The person has first class and maybe a better IELTS score. I got 2000 with 2:1

dami24:


Someone got Teesside 3500. That’s the discount I’m aiming for

Invariably Visa fee is non-refundable too I guess

IHS is £300 for each year of your course + £150 for the extra 4-6 months. If your course is for 1 year, total IHS will be £450 + visa fee of £348 = £798. This will be charged in $ and how much you pay in naira will be dependent on your bank's rate on the day you pay.

You will need to pay online using a bank card (Naira mastercard, visa card or £€$ cards) after you submit your online application. You'll pay IHS first, then pay your visa fees before you can book an appointment. You might have to use different cards for both payments if your bank(s) has capped your Forex transaction limit; if you have a $£€ card that has funds that can be used for online transactions, you don't have to worry about transaction limits.

PS: For Tier 4 applications made from October 2020, IHS will be £470 for each year.

Pls I really need to know the exact point I can upload my supporting documents with my online application.

I guess the order is

-Complete your application (application is made uneditable)
-Pay IHS fee
-Return to site to pay visa fee
-Upload supporting documents
-Submit application


Please anyone that has completed their application, is this the order??

Anybody going to Edinburgh this September ?

Hello.

Please does anyone know if TB certificate is always a requirement for obtaining CAS?

Yes, you're correct but the application is submitted before payment, not after document upload.
The process is
- Complete and submit application form
- Pay IHS
- Pay visa fees
- use link on submitted application to access document submission link.
- Upload documents. Documents can be uploaded up till your biometrics appointment and in some cases, you can still upload sometime after your biometrics enrollment.

It depends on your school. LSBU insisted that I must show them all the supporting documents(TB Certificate, Bank Statement etc.) for my Visa, before they can issue CAS. University of Nottingham only need the proof of fund to issue CAS while Bournemouth need to see your deposit to issue CAS.

You can pay using a savings account with the Naira equivalent, it doesn't have to be current. They'll need a copy of your intl passport, addmission letter where the fees are stated and your bsc certificate copy. You'll be given form A and one other form to enter the school payment details and amount in pounds. The process is seamless mostly.

Tks. Will refer this to him.

UoN doesn't even need proof of funds..They've started the Tier 4pilot application thing whereby you don't need to show proof of funds.

Thanks so much for this. I appreciate.

Gracias.

The T4 pilot scheme will end when the new student route kicks off.

The issue is I could only manage to book 21st of August for the TB test. Do you guys think it's too late considering my resumption is mid September. I'm considering going to Abuja since there are closer dates. Just not sure if its worth it.

My dear it's too close to visa processing and resumption. Let me say categorically that it is a long process if a test go wrong. I don't pray that for anyone though. Go to Abuja and have your thing done so you will look forward to the next stage. My opinion though. Thanks

Hello everyone,

Please I want to know, if a dependant is joining a Student who leaves in September by February next year, what will be the expected maintenance cost to hold and the IHS surcharge? How many months financial proof will be required to apply for Visa? Thanks

I think you need to show 860 per month if you are going to London and 680 per month for other cities for a period of 9 months. IHS surcharge is 300 per person for a year as of this time.

But the duration of stay is no longer 9months na as it has reduced

asatin007:


Bro... I’ve just mailed you too. Let’s connect!

I sent my number to you to hi me on WhatsApp.. so we talk

That I don't know. You can also read the dependant and Tier 4 guidances.

SAMDEEA123:

1. It will be for a maximum of 9 months.
This is because the dependant's leave will be dependent on the time left on the T4 student's leave. And if the dependant applies in Feb 2021, the main applicant (the T4 student) still has 11 months valid leave in the UK based on the visa durations under the current PBS system.
The student's leave doesn't end when he/she finishes the course but by 11.59pm on the day the leave granted the student expires; this is usually 4-6 months after course end date.
I anticipate that the leave periods will be changed at the start of the PSW scheme.

2. The IHS should be for 1 year (£470 - IHS cost per year for students from October 2020) since the period of leave would be 11 months. You can use the IHS fee checker if in doubt.

3. 28 days financial proof.

PS: When applying with the main applicant or separately before the main applicant arrives the UK, the calculation is usually based on the course duration but when applying separately (after the main applicant's arrival in the UK), it is based on the duration left on the student's visa/leave.
