   What are the Ways to Prove Grammar in a UK Visa Application?


 

One of the most important issues to be considered when applying for many visa types for a UK visa is language knowledge. During your visa applications, you must prove that you meet the required grammar proficiency requirement according to the visa type you are applying for. If you are applying for one of the following visa types, you can apply for a visa using one of the proof methods accepted by the Home Office:

 

• Skilled Worker Visi
• Health and Care Worker Visa
• Start-up Visa
• Innovator Visa
• Scale Up Visa
• Student Visa
• Religious Worker Visa
• High Potential Individual Visa

 

However, if you have proven your knowledge of English while applying for any visa application type, you do not need to prove it again.

 

When applying for UK Visa types, you generally need to successfully pass English speaking, reading, writing and listening exams. The criteria used to prove English grammar are the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) standards.

 

 What are the Ways of Proof Accepted by the UK?


 

-SELT exam conducted by an intermediary institution (IELTS, Pearson etc.) approved by Home Office


- obtained through a school in the UK that you started when you were under the age of 18; A Level GSCE certificate, Level 4 or 5 Scottish National Qualification Certificate, Scottish Higher or Advanced Higher English


- If one of the departments from which you graduated in undergraduate, graduate or doctoral degree is teaching in English, you can have the equivalence approved by ECCTIS, formerly UK NARIC, and use this approval document for proof of English language.
