Applicants from Ludhiana asking about a 'UK visa' are usually really asking about one of several different routes — work, study, or family — each with its own rules. Here's how to figure out which one actually fits your situation.
Work Routes
The Skilled Worker visa is the main long-term work route and requires a job offer with sponsorship from a licensed UK employer, plus meeting the current salary threshold for your occupation. The Graduate visa is a separate, sponsor-free route available only to those who've just completed a UK degree, letting them work in the UK for a limited period afterward.
Study Routes
The Student visa requires an unconditional offer (CAS) from a licensed UK student sponsor, proof you can cover your course fees and living costs, and an approved English test where required. The exact maintenance funds figure depends on your course location and length, so confirm the current amount with your institution and GOV.UK before budgeting.
Family Routes
If you're joining a spouse, partner, or family member already settled or living in the UK, you'd apply under one of the family visa categories, each with its own relationship, financial, and accommodation requirements that differ meaningfully from the work and study routes.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know which UK visa category applies to me?
It depends on your purpose — working requires sponsorship, studying requires a CAS from a licensed institution, and joining family requires meeting that specific route's relationship and financial tests. Get an assessment of your specific circumstances before applying.
Can a UK study visa lead to a work visa later?
Yes — many graduates move from a Student visa to the Graduate visa, and from there potentially to a Skilled Worker visa with employer sponsorship, though each transition has its own separate eligibility requirements.
What's the visa fee for a UK Student visa?
As of the latest published fee, it's £558, plus a healthcare surcharge based on visa length — confirm the current fee on GOV.UK, as fees are reviewed periodically.
Does World Immigration Terminal guarantee UK visa approval?
No — decisions rest solely with UK Visas and Immigration. We help you identify the right route and prepare a complete, accurate application.
