Yes, the loan sanction letter for a UK student visa must be on official letterhead and include specific details.

The letter should:
- Confirm the loan is from an approved provider (government, government-sponsored student loan company, or recognized educational loan scheme)
- State your name, the sanctioned amount, and that funds are available before travel
- Be dated within six months of your visa application

Including sponsor details is only required if the loan is provided by a sponsor. If so, their information must appear in the letter.

If you need help preparing your documents, contact your LeapScholar counsellor.
