Live in the UK

Applicants looking to join family, extend a stay or apply for citizenship in the UK may need to take a 2-skills (Speaking & Listening) seltukvisa to prove their English language proficiency as part of their Leave to Remain or British citizenship visa application. All seltukvisa exams are delivered through our global network of SELT Centres.

The minimum Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR) level required varies depending on visa type. Applicants with a higher language level can take a Speaking & Listening exam above the minimum requirement which also satisfies the visa application.

Visa requirement information is subject to change. Applicants should refer to UK Government guidance on English language exams for visas and are responsible for ensuring they take the correct exam.
