After you receive your offer letter and pay the required fees, your next step is to obtain a Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS) from your UK university. The CAS is an electronic reference number that confirms your admission and is essential for your student visa application. Once you have the CAS, you can apply for your student visa online using this number and provide documents such as proof of finances and English language proficiency. After submitting your application and paying the visa fee, you'll need to confirm your identity, either through the UK Immigration ID Check app or at a visa application centre. Be sure to complete all these steps before you plan to travel to the UK.
