You can only turn from conditional to unconditional by proving you have achieved the exam results we asked you to achieve and by sending us proof of passing those exams. Only then can you start applying for a student visa – so it is vital you send us your results as quickly as possible.

We need proof of your exam results and your English language test results.

If you need a Student Route visa, you should request a CAS, which is not automatically issued.

Remember, you can start the CAS request process even if all your supporting documents are not ready via OSIS.
