The UKVI is clamping down on the applications for Student Visas. This is to ensure only legitimate students are coming to the UK for the purpose of education/study.
Please make sure you have the correct documents, the correct amount of funds as requested and that you have paid at least 1 year of your tuition (if you are studying on a course of 1 year or more in duration).
You can also qualify for a Student Visitor visa, however, there is still a process to be followed.
You can apply for a Student Visitor visa if:
- you’re doing a short course of study in the UK
- you’re from outside the European Economic Area (EEA) and Switzerland
- you meet the other eligibility requirements
You can stay in the UK for:
- 6 months - for any short course including English language courses
- 11 months - an extended visa for English language courses only
You can:
- do a short course of study in the UK, such as an English language course or a training course
You can’t:
- study at a state school
- work or carry out any business
- marry or register a civil partnership, or give notice of marriage or a civil partnership
- come to the UK specifically for private medical treatment
- extend this visa
- bring family members (‘dependants’) with you - they must apply separately
- get public funds
You can apply for a visa up to 3 months before your date of travel to the UK.
