IELTS for UKVI and Life Skills

IELTS for UKVI and IELTS for UKVI Life Skills are English language tests. VisaRequest’s service on this website is guidance about those tests and help with test registration.

Registering for an English test is not applying for a visa. A test booking or result does not guarantee a visa, admission, employment or a particular score. Confirm the test and score required with the organisation requesting your result.
