TOEIC® Test Scores Approved for Visa Use by the U.K. Border Agency (UKBA)

People from around the world wishing to work, study or settle in the United Kingdom can use the TOEIC® tests to demonstrate their English proficiency for all visas under the U.K.'s points-based system. This decision was made by the Home Office of the U.K. Border Agency, the party responsible for securing the U.K. border and controlling migration in the U.K. The UKBA accreditation allows students, migrants and spouses, or partners worldwide to submit their TOEIC scores as evidence of having passed a U.K. Border Agency-approved English-language test.
