Two minutes. Straight answer.
The same criteria the Home Office publishes, checked in order. Anything borderline gets flagged for a regulated adviser rather than glossed over.

Straight answers
- What are the basic requirements for a UK Student visa?
- An unconditional offer from a licensed student sponsor (your CAS), proof of English at the required level, enough money to cover fees and living costs for up to nine months, and, for some nationalities, a TB test certificate. You must be 16 or over.
- How long does a UK Student visa take?
- Most decisions come within three weeks of your biometrics appointment when applying from outside the UK. You can apply up to six months before your course starts.
- Can I apply for a Student visa with a conditional offer?
- No. The university issues your CAS only once the offer is unconditional, and the CAS number goes on the application.
