Anyone bought any insurance before going overseas?
Is Endsleigh insurance already provided for you when u go thr to study, dont have to apply?

Any benefit provided by government there?

Has anyone claimed VAT before? How does it work? I dont really understand it after reading their website...

For VAT, see point number 3 in this link, which is self explanatory.

it is not necessary to buy medical insurance....all international students will be covered by the nhs.....

for other insurances, it's up to you.....

Anyone here travelling on the 13th next month?

i dont think insurance is necessary. i sprained my arm just the 3rd day i arrived in the uk, i havent register with the nhs. but the hospital still did the consulting, x-ray and stuffs for free.

People,about the passport size, i notice malaysia passport size is 35x50 and uk passport size is 35x 45 o.o.I went to the photo shop and ask they said they onli hav 35x 50.Those who gave their photo is it 35 x45 and where u all did it? o.o

Just a question here, can ACCA finish in 1 year?

Just a normal photo shop outside my house there... they even have US, India etc. different photo sizes....Did you tell them you want it for UK visa?

Yeah i told them,then they ask me what size,I even show em the website specification and they say they only do 35x 50 which is the malaysian passport size/ international size o.o

ill be going on the 15th

Hmm I wasn't aware of this actually. For me, I just told my photo shop I wanted UK size and they did for me.

Anyways, maybe you could try checking if there is any photo service at Wisma MCA? I'm sure someone would cash into such a lucrative business haha.

And the actual mugshot for that'll appear on your visa will be taken during the biometrics session.

Ahh. Which airline and where's ur location?

Hi people, need ask one more thing.Do we need to show tuition fees paid if got proof of funds already?

What do you mean?

emirates to heathrow. going to nottingham tho.

nope. tuition fee paid will be updated in ur cas. just went for appt today, they were too busy to check anything other than the essentials. (passport, old passport, cas, atas if needed and tb+tb photocopy)

lol you again.


he's been on this forum doing research for so many months.
in that time many of us have completed our 1st and 2nd year degree.
but he is still wondering which airline ticket to buy

tin kosong is really tin kosong.

Hey guys i have a few questions regarding the interview part of the visa, from what i can gather its not necessary to wear formal (thats one thing i was worried about)

but uh, is the interview the same day as the appointment you made to submit your documents? or is it a separate thing where they will contact you separately?

Formal attire isn't necessary.

'Interview' is the same day and time, after they collect payment etc. It's barely even an interview, more like confirming some details and some casual questions.

I literally LMAO on this. I did some researches on this thread when I first got here. I see him posting the same thing all over and over again for years.

I just got back from VFS recently. True that it's barely an interview. They just asked for your name & DOB and that's it.

they didnt state it will be an interview tho. they posted "biometric data collection" and "document smth smth". thats all. why did u all think that there would be an interview? O.O i wore formal btw, and i was like the only one.
