PARTLY

As of 13 August 2026, AI can only partly calculate your UK visa points.

This still needs a person who signs their name to it.

What the alternative costsPDF.ai provides AI chat, summaries and extraction over PDF documents, which can help organise visa evidence but does not replace immigration advice.

If this goes wrong: you rely on the wrong route or point calculation and submit an application that is refused, delayed or missing required evidence.

What to actually do

  1. Hand it to a person

    The route this page recommends

    Someone with a licence or accountable authority has to sign this before it counts.

  2. Use a tool built for this

    Second choice

  3. Do it yourself

    The distant third

    A chat interface, chat-fluent skill, and roughly 30 minutes until you can act on the result.

    How to actually do it

    1. Open GOV.UK and find the current immigration rules and application guidance for the exact visa route you are considering.
    2. Write down the route name, the relevant job, course or family basis, and any stated salary, qualification, sponsorship or relationship requirements.
    3. Gather the documents that support your facts, such as your passport details, sponsorship or course information, qualifications, payslips and language evidence, without uploading unnecessary personal data.
    4. Paste the prompt into ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini and replace the bracketed slots with the route and facts you have gathered.
    5. Answer the chatbot's follow-up questions using the documents, and tell it to mark anything you cannot prove as unconfirmed rather than filling the gap.
    6. Open each GOV.UK link in the response and compare the route, points categories, mandatory requirements and evidence against the current guidance.
    7. Send the table and your evidence to an immigration solicitor if the result affects a serious application, an extension, a refusal risk or a complex personal history.

    Prompt

    Help me prepare a conditional UK visa points calculation. Use only the current GOV.UK rules for the visa route I name below, and give the exact GOV.UK page links you used. Do not give legal advice or say that I am definitely eligible. First identify which route and version of the points rules apply, then list the required points categories, the evidence normally needed for each category, and any mandatory requirements that are separate from points. Ask me for any missing facts before calculating. After I answer, show a table with: category, points claimed, facts or evidence supporting the claim, uncertainty, and the GOV.UK source. State clearly which claims I must confirm with the official application process or an immigration solicitor. Visa route: [ROUTE]. Relevant nationality or status: [DETAIL]. Proposed job, course or family basis: [DETAIL]. Personal facts and documents: [DETAIL].

    Open it prefilled in ChatGPT or Claude, or copy it into Gemini, which takes no prefill link.

What it gets wrong

  • AI cannot choose the correct visa route when your circumstances fit more than one route or involve exceptions.
  • AI cannot establish that your documents will satisfy UK Visas and Immigration or that evidence is genuine and sufficient.
  • AI cannot reliably keep every points table, salary rule, transitional provision and application requirement current.
  • AI cannot take responsibility for the application or replace an immigration solicitor in a serious or disputed case.

What caps this at PARTLY: legal accountability, real time truth and verification cost.

FAQ

Can AI calculate my UK visa points?
Partly. AI can total points from facts you provide and show which evidence supports each category, but it can use the wrong route or miss a mandatory requirement. Check the result against the relevant GOV.UK guidance before relying on it.
Is a UK visa points calculator accurate?
It is only as accurate as the route, rules, facts and evidence supplied. A points total does not by itself prove that you meet every visa requirement, so confirm the calculation with the official GOV.UK process.
Can ChatGPT tell me if I qualify for a UK visa?
It can help organise a conditional assessment, but it cannot determine your legal eligibility or guarantee an application result. This is not professional advice; ask an immigration solicitor about a serious, complex or high-risk application.
What information do I need to calculate my UK visa points?
You need the exact visa route and the facts that route asks for, such as sponsorship, salary, qualifications, English language evidence or family circumstances. Gather documents for each claim and check the current GOV.UK guidance because the required evidence depends on the route.
