Most international students need a visa/entry clearance to study at Oxford Sixth Form College. We work with Newland Chase Education (NCE), the leading provider of immigration and visa services, to ensure that students have all the support they need.
On receipt of the CAS Release Fee, the Admissions Team will contact NCE to request CAS, which stands for Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies. At this point, Newland Chase Education will begin the visa documentation process.
In order to ensure a smooth process, we advise you to start preparing documents for your visa application as soon as possible. Below you can check the list of documents that are required for a student visa application.
Please note that the below list is not exhaustive and you may be required to provide other documents or information depending on your individual circumstances. Your sponsor will provide you with your CAS when they are satisfied that you have all the required documents for your application.
