Hi Guys,

I will be heading to UK for my postgraduate studies. I have my parents bank statement to prove my financial ability. Do I have to provide a letter to say that my parents is willing to sponsor my studies? Any sample of such letter available?

Is it worth paying for priority visa service?

For the benefits of all LYN forumer, I have found a sample letter for parents financial support.

Do I have to submit my passport to VFS when I apply for my student visa? I am travelling to Australia next week for 3 weeks and I need my passport with me.

I am worried that it will be too late for me to lodge my visa by the time I get back to Malaysia. My current plan is to lodge my visa application early Sept. I plan to travel to UK on the 20th Sept.

Is it worth using priority visa service?

Sigh. Why can't they have electronic visa linked to the passport. Anyone used the priority visa service before?

Do I have to do the TB test and submit the results to VFS?

I need some advice here. I just lodged my visa application on Thursday, 11th Sept. I opted for the priority visa service and was told the visa will be ready within 3 to 5 business days.

My flight to London is on 20th Sept (Next Saturday). If the passport is ready by the 5th business day, I should be able to collect it next Friday (19th Sept).

I am wondering if I should reschedule my flight just in case if they take more than 5 business day to process my visa.

Is the a limit to the amount of cash/ bank draft we are allowed to carry into UK?

I lodged for my visa on the 11th as well. Paid for priority service. I have receive email from Manila on Tuesday (16th Sept).

Today is the 5th business day and I haven't receive from VFS KL to collect my visa. Sigh. My flight is on next Tuesday.
