Yes, there have been recent challenges with the UK student visa process. In the first quarter of 2026, student visa refusals increased by 56%, with a rejection rate of 4.1% - the highest in a decade.

This rise is linked to stricter compliance checks, higher financial requirements, and new restrictions on dependants. Indian applicants often face refusals due to insufficient financial proof (funds must be held for 28 consecutive days) and concerns about genuine study intentions.

To avoid issues, make sure all application requirements are carefully met.
