The UK Immigration system is currently working for the New Policy for UK Student Visa with the introduction of a Points Based System (PBS), which has to be launched in March/April, 2009. Point Based System has five categories of visas for the international students or workers to apply under this newly launched points based system


Students will get 30 points for the acceptance letter issued by the institutes, 10 points will be given for the maintenance of funds for living, travelling and fees expenses, keep in mind that student have to score 75 points under points based system in order to apply for student visa.

This will take effect in March, 2009 and then in September/October 2009 with different new policies for student visas of UK
