What documents do I need to prepare and upload for the application process in UK for a Postgraduate?

You will need to prepare and upload several key documents for your UK student visa application:

- Valid passport (must cover your entire stay)
- Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS) from your UK university
- Proof of financial means: funds held for at least 28 days before application
- Inside London: £1,334/month (up to 9 months, total £12,006)
- Outside London: £1,023/month (up to 9 months, total £9,207)
- English language proof (such as IELTS for UKVI)
- Academic transcripts and degree certificates
- Tuberculosis (TB) test certificate from a UK-approved clinic (required for Indian applicants)
- Immigration Health Surcharge (IHS) payment confirmation

All documents must be in English or have certified translations. Requirements are subject to change for January 2027 intake.

If you have specific circumstances (such as sponsorship or certain postgraduate courses), additional documents like an ATAS certificate or sponsorship letter may be needed.
