STUDENT VISAS, IMMIGRATION, AND ENGLISH LANGUAGE TESTS
UCAS • February 19, 2020
Visas and English language tests apply to many international applications. Find out what you need to do and when to apply for yours.
How to get a student visa
If you live outside the UK, you’ll need to get a Tier 4 student visa to study here – unless you’re an EEA or Swiss national. Once you’ve been offered a place on a course, the course provider will advise you on how to apply for your student visa from UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI).
You can apply up to three months in advance of your course start date. It normally takes up to 15 days, but could be longer at peak times, so make sure you apply early enough.
However, there are a few things you need to do first before you can send off your visa application.
