The UK Student Visa (formerly Tier 4) is your pathway to studying at any UKVI-approved university in the United Kingdom. As a Sudanese 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 6.0โ6.5 required. Sudan's higher education uses both Arabic and English. IELTS centre in Khartoum. English proficiency growing.
Sudan is a visa national. UK Student Visa requires CAS, IELTS, financial proof. Processing times may be extended โ allow 6โ10 weeks.
You will need to: create a UKVCAS account, complete the online form, pay the visa fee (ยฃ558 as of April 2026), and pay the NHS Health Surcharge (ยฃ776/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 โ typically 3โ8 weeks.
