New English Language Test

Hi, is their a band score for the A1 test? Thanks

IELTS Score conversions:- http://www.ielts-exam.net/IELTS-for-UK.htm


Speaking and Listening scores only needed for Fiance / Spouse Visas.
The IELTS test will comprise of all four categories.



New requirement being proposed from Oct 2016 (Spouse Entry)




ILR / Citizenship:-



IELTS General is only required for spouse / family

IELTS Accedemic test level required for all other types of Visa applications.

Although the standard A1 test is 'banded' as indicated by @one world the A1 test used for immigration purposes is a simple pass/fail. It is really not suitable for any other purpose than for immigrating to the UK.

Hello @Dave and Aisa ok noted. Thank you

my girlfriend just took her TB test 2 weeks ago and the fee is definitely 3200 pesos, payable in cash when you go there (no payment up front or online)

Ok thank you @johnboy999

What about in IDP. Should i pay it online? Or ill just pay when i go there? Thank you po.

There is an option to pay online and offline. Not sure if you could pay when you go there (IDP) but for the offline option, i believe you could pay the exam in cash over the counter in BPI, BDO or MetroBank.

Ok thank you noted

Hi Guys

I havent been on here for ages so im just reading through the posts and catching up. Its visa time again so I have a question. I am not sure which IELTS we need to book for the wife as she is coming here to work as a nurse. Do we just get the IELTS for UKVI academic or do we need to do that one and the Life Skills one as well. I am just wondering if the score from the academic visa will be able to be used towards the life skills as we are applying for a spouse visa this time so she will be staying here and with her been a nurse she needs to have the academic IELTS to enable us to get the ball rolling with the NMC. I cant find any answers anywhere and I have trawled the websites. Any info would be much appreciated

hello everyone! I am basically on my tourist visa and staying here for 5 months, and will be going back to PH in June, I'm wondering whilst I'm here, is it possible if I could take IELTS here in the UK? I'm going to apply for fiancée visa when I get back to the PH. many thanks!

Hi everyone , I took my EILTS exam last year August 2015 it says that it is valid for 2years . I was not able to use my EILTS exam test certificate and now we're planning to apply for spouse visa this coming september . Can i still use this ? .

If the IELTS test was the SELT (Secure English Language Testing) type, then yes. Otherwise, you will need to retake.

For the very reason you state I think it is a safer bet to tell people to take a new test if they have the slightest doubt, better safe than sorry.

It is and it affects us most recent applicants here on BF. I dont think i'll be the one to test the system with an old English test

I took ielts life skills A1 speaking and listening last 19th of November 2015,in the Philipines and im here in the UK now,can i still use it when i apply spouse visa? Thanks..
