Evidence requirements
Low-risk nationals
If you are from a country listed under the ‘differential evidence requirement’ on GOV.UK, you are a' low-risk national'.
This means you don't always have to provide your qualifications or evidence of your maintenance funds when you make your visa application.
However, the Immigration Officials reserve the right to request the full range of documents in all cases. Therefore, you must inform us if you are asked to submit documents after you have paid your visa application fee.
High-risk nationals
These are defined by UK Visa and Immigration as people who are not on the ‘differential evidence requirement’ list on GOV.UK
When you apply for a visa, you will need to provide your academic qualifications and evidence of your maintenance funds (financial documents).
