How to be a sponsor?

Question

I'm trying to go to a school over in England, and there is a family there that will sponsor me, but the problem is they don't know how. Could anyone please tell me some websites I can look at that will give information on what to do to be a sponsor. Thanx!

Answer 1

talk to you school counsler  

Answer 2

You need to apply for a Student's Visa on Form VAF1 (which you can download from http://www.ukvisas.gov.uk/en/howtoapply/... ).

You then apply either direct to the British Embassy in your home country, or to their appointed agency.  In many places you can book the initial interview for submission online and there is a slight delay according to demand.

The documents you need are: a current passport, a letter of invitation from your sponsor explaining the dates and purpose of the visit and his or her relationship to you, evidence of your own savings and means to fund the trip, especially should your sponsor abandon you after you have arrived in the UK, evidence of your sponsor's savings and means to support you without recourse to British Government funds, as a student you will need a letter of invitation to the course, and some evidence you have the relevant qualifications to take up that place, and finally a lot of money in visa fee - I believe a student visa costs £65 in local currency (the same as a tourist visa, but I could be wrong).  They will demand a direct bank transfer and do not accept cash.

Good luck!
