The UK Student Visa (formerly Tier 4) is your pathway to studying at any UKVI-approved university in the United Kingdom. As a Venezuelan student, here is everything you need to know to apply successfully in 2026.
Before you can apply for a UK Student Visa, you need a Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS) from a UKVI-licensed university. Gangal Recruitment will handle your application and ensure you receive your CAS quickly once you have an offer.
You must show that you can cover your tuition fees plus living costs. For 2026, the UK government requires:
IELTS 6.0–6.5 required. Venezuela has IELTS centres in Caracas. Many Venezuelan professionals seek UK education due to economic and political situation.
Venezuela is NOT a visa national for UK. UK Student Visa is straightforward. Processing: 3–5 weeks.
You will need to: create a UKVCAS account, complete the online form, pay the visa fee (£558 as of April 2026), and pay the NHS Health Surcharge (£776/year for students).
You will attend a VFS Global or UKVCAS centre to provide your fingerprints and photo. After this, your application is sent to UK Visas and Immigration for processing — typically 3–8 weeks.
GPA 15+/20 (Bueno) from CNU-recognised Venezuelan institution.
