English Language Requirements for UK Visas

As part of the United Kingdom (‘UK’) visa application process, the majority of visa applications will require a relevant English language qualification requirement for entry clearance, leave to remain, settlement and/or British naturalisation purposes.

Unless you are exempt from satisfying the English language requirement or you have a degree or academic qualification that was taught or researched in English and your qualification is recognised by UK NARIC as being equivalent to a UK bachelor’s degree or higher, you will be required to satisfy the English language requirement by passing a Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (‘CEFR’) test at a level prescribed by UK Visas & Immigration in accordance with the application you are making.

You will not need to prove your knowledge of English if you’re a national of one of the following countries: Antigua and Barbuda; Australia; the Bahamas; Barbados; Belize; Canada; Dominica; Grenada; Guyana; Jamaica; Malta, New Zealand; St Kitts and Nevis; St Lucia; St Vincent and the Grenadines; Trinidad and Tobago; United States of America.

The relevant English language test for UK visa applications can be conducted at Trinity College London. Trinity College London are a Home Office approved English language test provider.
