How do I get a UK student visa for my MBBS studies, and what are the requirements?
For MBBS in the UK you apply for a UK Student Visa using your CAS from the university, a valid passport, financial proof, an English score such as IELTS or PTE, and your academic documents. You then pay the visa fee, give biometrics and await a decision.
