You will need several key documents for your UK student visa application:

- Valid passport for the duration of your course
- Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS) from your UK university
- Financial evidence showing you can cover tuition and living costs (amounts are subject to change)
- Proof of English proficiency (such as IELTS), if required for your course
- Academic transcripts and certificates listed in your CAS
- Tuberculosis (TB) test results if required for your country
- Parental consent if you are under 18
- ATAS certificate for certain postgraduate science/technology courses

A Statement of Purpose (SOP) and Letters of Recommendation (LOR) are usually required for university admission, but not for the visa itself. Visa requirements may vary based on your course and profile. For next steps, connect with your LeapScholar counsellor for guidance on your specific document checklist.
