New UK Student Visa Rules
Posted on July 13th, 2009 by InternationalStudentGuruAs many of you will know, the UK has introduced a new points-based visa application process for students who want to study in the UK. The new system can seem a little complicated and daunting if you take a look at the UK Visas website, however there is a great little video that can help you better understand the new points system for getting a visa to study in the UK:
The video included a few links to useful resources for students – we have included them for you below for ease of use:
- List of approved UK Schools and Institutions
- UKBA Studying in the UK Help Pages
- UKBA “Where to apply for a visa” locations
You can also find out useful information about studying in the UK from the UK version of InternatonalStudent.com, where we offer guidance, support and help to students from all around the world who are looking at the UK as a study destination. We also would like to thank BrandoSocial.com on behalf of the UK Borders Agency who have created all these videos for students. They are also available in a number of languages including Russian, Arabic, Korean and Spanish

Hi, I applied for my VISA on 4th Jan. I opened up a Fix deposit(maintenance fee) on 20th Nov and on 21st Dec. I took the letter from bank and submitted to VFS with all my support doc. Now in the VFS application tracking system I can see the status as “Visa application is under process at the British High Commission”.
So my question is do we need to keep the money in the bank till I get the VISA?
“from 1 October 2009, you must be able to prove that the money you need to apply has been in your account for 28 days before you submit your application.”
