UK Student Visa

Apply For a UK Student Visa

Do you need to apply for a student visa to study in the UK? You can do so if you’re 16 or over and the following applies to you:

• have been offered a place on a course by a licensed student sponsor

• have enough money to support yourself and pay for your course 

• can speak, read, write and understand English

• have consent from your parents if you’re 16 or 17 – you’ll need evidence of this when you apply

The UK Student Visa has replaced the Tier 4 (General) student visa.

Applying from outside the UK

The earliest you can apply for a visa is 6 months before you start your course.
You’ll normally get a decision on your visa within 3 weeks unless you would like to apply for a UK Student Visa fast track service whereby you will normally receive your decision within 5 days.

How long you can stay

You can stay in the UK depending on the length of your course.

If you are over the age of 18 and your course is at degree level, you can usually stay in the UK as a student for up to 5 years and 2 years If it’s below degree level.

I would like to Stay longer in the UK

You may be able to:

• extend your visa if you’re eligible, if you want to continue your studies in the UK

• switch to a Skilled Worker Visa from your UK Student Visa if you’re already in the UK

• switch to a Graduate visa to live and work in the UK for at least 2 years after successfully completing your degree.

When you can travel to the UK

If you would like to arrive in the UK before your course starts, this can be either:

• up to 1 week before, if your course only lasts 6 months.

• up to 1 month before, if your course is for more than 6 months

You must not arrive in the UK before the start date on your visa, no matter when your studies start.

Fees

It costs £490 to apply for a Student Visa from outside the UK and there is also an immigration Health Surcharge Fee that you must pay.

What you can and cannot do

You can:

• study

• work as a student union sabbatical officer

You may be able to work – how much depends on what you’re studying and whether you’re working in or out of term-time.

Your course

You must have an unconditional offer of a place on a course with a licensed student sponsor.

To prove this, your education provider will send you a reference number (called a Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS)) once they’ve offered you a place on the course. You need a CAS before you can apply for your visa.
