Understanding the Visa
What is the UK Study Visa?
The UK Study Visa allows Nigerian students to study at a UK university once they hold a CAS (Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies). It's the essential step for:
Undergraduate and Master's study
Globally recognised UK degrees
Applicants who need admission secured, or already have it
Students planning to work in the UK after graduation
UK Graduate Route
2–3 Years to Work
After graduating, the Graduate Route lets you stay and work in the UK for 2 years after a Bachelor's or Master's degree, or 3 years after a PhD.

THE PROCESS
How we get your UK Study Visa approved
Four steps. You show up for Step 1 and Step 4. We handle everything in between.
01
02
03
04
Profile Evaluation & Admission
We assess your academic background, budget, and travel history, then help you secure admission into a strong UK university if you don't already have a CAS.
Financial Audit & CAS Support
We ensure your bank statement meets the 28-day funds rule, then guide you through CAS issuance and your tuition deposit.
Application & Biometrics
We complete and review your visa application form, then prepare you for your biometrics appointment.
Visa Approved
UKVI processing typically takes 15 working days after biometrics. Total turnaround, start to finish, is usually 3 to 4 weeks.
THE APPLICATION
Why UK Study Visa applications get refused
Many refusals are avoidable. Here's what we check for before anything is submitted.
1
Poorly Prepared Bank Statement
Incorrect statement dates, funds not held for the full 28 days, or an unclear sponsor relationship are some of the most common refusal triggers.
2
Incorrect Application Form
Small errors on the visa application form, or details that don't align with your CAS, can trigger a refusal on their own.
3
Weak or Inconsistent Admission Choice
Your admission is the foundation of your visa — a poor course or university fit can raise questions UKVI won't overlook.
4
Contradictions Between CAS and Documents
Your course details, tuition fees, and dates must match exactly across your CAS, financial documents, and application form.
