The UKVI New Compliance Rules 2026 introduce stricter guidelines for international students studying in the UK. Universities must closely monitor attendance, academic progress, and report any non-compliance to UKVI, making CAS issuance more careful. Financial verification has also become tougher, requiring accurate proof of funds, while inconsistent bank statements may lead to visa refusal. Most students are now restricted from bringing dependents, except postgraduate researchers. Work-hour limits are strictly enforced, and violations can result in visa cancellation. Additionally, the UK is shifting to a fully digital eVisa system. Overall, students must follow all rules carefully to maintain a valid visa status.
