Document Checklist

What You'll Typically Need

This is a general checklist — your coordinator confirms the exact document set for your specific case, since UKVI requirements can vary by category and change over time.

Common Refusal Reasons

What Trips Up UK Visa Applications

  1. Financial evidence timing errors — bank statements that don't meet the 28-day consecutive holding requirement for student visas.
  2. Insufficient ties to Bangladesh — unclear employment, property, or family circumstances suggesting weak reason to return.
  3. Inconsistent travel history or explanations — application details that don't align with supporting documents.
  4. Incomplete sponsor documentation — missing CAS or Certificate of Sponsorship details required by UKVI.
Frequently Asked Questions

UK Visa — Common Questions

What is the 28-day financial rule for a UK student visa?

UK Student (CAS) visa applicants must show the required funds have been held in their account for a consecutive 28-day period, with the balance not dropping below the required amount at any point during that window. A statement dated too early or too late relative to the application can trigger a refusal on this ground alone.

Can Bangladeshi citizens apply for a UK visitor visa from Dhaka?

Yes. UK visitor visa applications for Bangladeshi citizens are submitted online, with biometrics enrolled at the UK visa application centre in Dhaka.

How long does a UK visa take to process from Bangladesh?

Standard UK visa processing timelines are published by UKVI and vary by visa category and season. A coordinator confirms the current estimate for your specific application type at the time of filing.

What are the most common reasons UK visitor visas get refused?

The most frequent grounds are insufficient evidence of ties to Bangladesh (employment, property, family), unclear travel history, financial documentation that doesn't clearly support the trip, and travel plans or explanations that appear inconsistent.

Do I need a CAS letter before applying for a UK student visa?

Yes. A Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS) from a licensed UK Student sponsor is required before the visa application can be submitted.

Can THB VISA help if my UK visa was refused before?

Yes. We review the refusal notice, identify exactly which requirement wasn't met, and rebuild the application to directly address it before refiling.
