What type of visa do I need to study in the UK?
Student Visas for Studying in the UK
If you’re planning to study in the UK, you’ll typically need a Tier 4 (General) student visa. This visa is for students aged 16 or above who want to pursue a higher education course in the UK.
Here’s a quick guide to the student visa process:
- Get accepted into a UK university or college: You’ll need an offer for a full-time course from a licensed Tier 4 sponsor.
- Receive a Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS): Your university or college will issue a CAS after you accept their offer. This document is essential for your visa application.
- Apply for your visa online: You can apply for your visa up to 6 months before your course starts. The application process includes paying a fee and providing supporting documents.
Documents you’ll typically need for your visa application:
- A valid passport
- Your CAS
- Proof of enough funds to cover your tuition fees and living expenses for the duration of your studies
- Tuberculosis test results (if required)
- English language test results (if required)
