Student Visa Information

The student visa application process can seem daunting at first, but our advisors know exactly how the system works and will guide you through each step smoothly. 

Type of Student Visas

Student Visa (formerly Tier 4 Visa): This is the most common option for international students pursuing a full-time degree at the UK institute.

Short-term Study Visa: Used when a study course is for up to 6 or 11 months

Child Student Visa: You can apply for a Child Student visa if you’re between 4 and 17 years old and you want to study at an independent school in the UK.

Graduate Visa: After successfully completing a UK course, you can then apply for a Graduate visa which gives you permission to stay in the UK for at least 2 years.

Student Visa Application Process

Step 1: Pick Your Course and University

Start by choosing the course and university that best suit your goals. Take some time to research your options and make sure the institution is recognised and a good fit for you.

Step 2: Check If You’re Eligible

Make sure you meet the student visa requirements. You’ll need to show proof of your English language skills (like an IELTS certificate) and show that you have enough money to cover your tuition fees as well as your living costs.

Step 3: Get Your Documents Ready

Prepare all the documents you’ll need for your application. These include:

• Your Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS)

• A valid passport

• Proof of English proficiency

• Academic transcripts

• Evidence of your financial support

Step 4: Apply Online

Fill out the student visa application form on the UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI) website. Double-check everything to make sure your details match your documents.

Step 5: Give Your Biometric Information

Book an appointment to provide your fingerprints and have your photo taken. Once you’re in the UK, this will be used to issue your Biometric Residence Permit (BRP).

Step 6: Wait for Your Visa

Once you’ve submitted your application, it usually takes about three weeks for your visa to be processed. While you wait, you can start planning for your move and getting excited about your studies in the UK!

Of course, our team will be behind you every step of this process and will make sure that it goes as smoothly as possible.
