        \n
        \"When<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

        Right Time to Apply From Outside the UK<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

        If you’re applying from outside the UK, you can start the process as early as six months before your course begins. Typically, you’ll receive a visa decision within three weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Right Time to Apply When You are in the UK<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

        For those applying from within the UK, you can begin the application three months prior to your course start date. Be sure to apply before your current visa expires, and your new course should start within 28 days of your visa expiration. The decision process typically takes around eight weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Note that visa applications surge in June, July, and August, leading to longer processing times due to high demand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        • If you’re extending or switching to a Student visa from within the UK, it’s \u00a3490.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

          Remember, you need to pay the visa fee for each dependent who’s coming with you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          What Does the CAS Document Use For?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

          A CAS document stands for “Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies.” It is a reference number issued by your educational institution once you have been accepted into a course. This number is essential for candidates as they are required to include it in their visa application when applying for a UK student visa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
