UK Study Visa
UK Study Visa: Types, Requirements, Process, and Cost
International students accepted into a British educational institution must apply for a UK Study Visa.
The previous Tier 4 (General) UK Study Visa has undergone a “rebranding” as a result of Brexit, which is mostly owing to the fact that students from the EU and EEA will now be needed to apply for a visa in order to study in the UK.
What is the eligibility for a UK Study Visa
- A licensed student sponsor has offered you a place on a course.
- You have enough money to support yourself as well as pay for your studies. The cost will vary based on your financial circumstances.
- You are fluent in English (speaking, reading, writing, and listening).
- Have consent from your parents if you’re 16 or 17. You’ll need to demonstrate evidence of this when you apply.
What are the requirements for a UK Study Visa
- When you apply for your Student visa you must provide:
- A valid passport or equivalent travel document.
- A Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS) from your course provider.
- You may also need to provide:
- Proof of minimum language proficiency.
- A valid ATAS certificate if your course and nationality require it.
- Proof of parental or other legal guardian consent if you’re under 18.
- Proof of your relationship to your parent or guardian if you’re under 18.
- Your tuberculosis test results.
- If you’ve received financial support for your course fees and living expenses in the last 12 months, you’ll need to get written consent from your financial sponsor to submit your application.
- If you’re under the age of 18, you’ll need both parents’ or legal guardians’ written consent.
