I applied for the Tier 2 Visa to UK and for that I had to prove my English language proficiency. Remember this is a point based visa and English language efficiency have 10 points. You have only two options to prove it, as discussed below:
1. Taking Exams
You can take exams like 'IELTS for UKVI' (academic or general). You need only CEFR level B1 for Tier 2 visa, which is equivalent to IELTS 4-5 band. Pay attention, you need a specific type of IELTS test and that is for UKVI.
2. UK NARIC Statement
If your bachelor or master or PhD degree was in English medium then you need not to worry for taking IELTS exam because you can get a UK NARIC statement to prove your English efficiency. You need three things to get your UK NARIC statement: photocopy of your degree, transcript and English language certificate. Follow the following steps:
a. Navigate to UK NARIC
b. Create your individual account
c. Select Visas and Nationality service.
Be careful here. We need two things, one certificate for English efficiency and second for the UK equivalent of our degree. So we need to select the Visas and Nationality service because it is customised service for visas and immigration purposes and contains both the certificates. You will see separate service for English language efficiency and Comparability service but you are not supposed to select that.
d. Select processing type and delivery options.
You can select faster processing by paying extra for processing and for delivery options. They process documents in 10 days (standard service), 48 hours and 24 hours option + delivery time of around 7 days.
NOTE: For other visas like Tier 4 (student visa), it is not necessary to take any of these options because it depends upon the hosting university as they they can waive off the English requirements.
