Last week we received our Visa to the UK. Alhamdulillah. This is the first step for us to go to Wales, United Kingdom. It took approximately 2 weeks to get your Visa Approved. My husband and I will be bringing our 2  precious daughters there. Just want to share what we have to do to apply for a visa since my husband only obtained the funding for his study from MARA. So for the rest of us has to attach some documentation to make it a smooth process.

The documents that they would like to have after we have applied it through online and have selected the date appointment.

1. Tuberculosis test-Since our country is on the list of the country that needs to do the tests we need to do the test then. There are 2 test centre in West Malaysia at this moment which is at;

Janice Lim - Health Screening Centre
Gleneagles Hospital (Kuala Lumpur)
282 and 286 Jalan Ampang,
50450 Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
Tel: 603-4141 3282, fax: 603-4141 3280, 
Email: janicelim@gleneagleskl.com.my

Dr Ong Kee Liang - Life Care Diagnostic Medical Centre,
1st Floor, Wisma Life Care,
No. 5, Jalan Kerinchi,
Bangsar South, 59200
Kuala Lumpur
Tel: 1300 222 369 or 
Email: info@lifecare.com.my


This time we need to bring the children to do some basic checkup. It just a session with Dr to ask some history of the children health. Bare in mind they also charge children per person around RM 175. For an adult the cost around RM 210 per person. We do the test in at Wisma Life Care as it also opens on Saturday. An advice to you, please do it before the peak season time where all the undergraduate and also postgraduate will be going to do the process, especially in August till September. You need to bring your passport picture, your passport/IC and even money for the test.:}


2. Applicant Passport Picture-Please see the guideline for UK passport picture size guideline
.
3. Marriage certificate-You can do this at Institut Terjemahan & Buku Malaysia (ITBM) or any court that have a translator. I do ask at Duta court, and the process will take only 1 hour while in Institute Terjemahan & Buku Malaysia will take around 3 working days. You can request Institut Terjemahan & Buku Malaysia (ITBM) personnel to courier to you the translated certified true copy documents right to your front door. How easy is that?

4. Birth certificate-Translate your birth certificate if your certificate is in other than the English language.I do it at the same place as a marriage certificate.But as for new/current birth certificate has already had a dual language we just used the original document for the application.

5. Bank statement-If you have some fund/saving you need to get the letter/passbook to be certified or issued by the said bank. As for us, we use ASB and Bank Passbook. There is a calculation to dictate how much money do we need to have if we go there and bring together your dependent. Huh...and yet the money needs to be in the Bank within 28 days. This document is for your dependent application.

6-Financial Statement/Letter from Funder-This letter need to be submitted if you apply under /sponsored student application. Sometimes if you are lucky by using this statement, your application can be approved by just utilising this letter without any Bank Statement. But I advise you to provide the bank statement if you bring more than 1 children.

6. Consent Letter- For example, if the main applicant will support the other dependent, he needs to provide a simple letter stated that he will support the name of the applicant and sign the letter.

7.CAS letter- If you go for study in the UK, they will provide you with the CAS letter. So this document needs to be submitted at the Visa application centre.

7. Passport-Bring all the mentioned passport from the first one until current passport. This is provided if you have to clarify all the passport that you have in hand.

Actually, you can apply online first while also preparing all the document in hand. The webpage https://www.visa4uk.fco.gov.uk/.

Now I can focus on other things such as to list all the items need to be brought there. Fuhhh...it going to be fun!!...or otherwise. Any advice from your friend?
