    If you are from outside the UK and are looking to study in the UK, getting a Student Visa may be the best option for you.

    There are a number of types of visas to study in the UK. If you are looking to study for longer than six months, you may be eligible to apply for the Tier 4 General Visa. If your course is for less than six months, the Student Visitor Visa may work better for your circumstances.

    How can IAS help?

    We at IAS have worked with many international students to get their visas and study in England and the rest of the UK. We will be able to assess your eligibility and advise you on the best type of Study Visa for you. We can then assist with completing your application and gathering your evidence documents.

    Your lawyer will manage all contact with the Entry Clearance Office and produce a Letter of Representation. This letter is submitted with your application and describes your case and any relevant UK case law to support it. We can also liaise with your UK sponsor to ensure that they are eligible to sponsor your application. If you are ready to start your application study in London or the rest of the UK, get in touch with our team on +1844 290 6312 today or make an inquiry online.

              Frequently Asked Questions

              The Tier 4 Student Visa is a points-based application for adults applying to study in England and the UK. You must be coming to the UK for a course of longer than six months at a post-16 institution. You will need to fulfill the 40-point requirement. 30 points are achieved by receiving your Confirmation of Acceptance for Study (CAS) from your registered sponsor.

              The other 10 points come from proof of adequate maintenance funds for your entire time in the country. You are generally allowed to stay for the duration of your course, with a short time before and after. Once this is over, you will be expected to leave the UK unless you wish to extend your stay or switch to another visa category.

              For adult students wanting to study at a UK higher education institute, you will need to study under the Tier 4 Student Visa.

              The Tier 4 Child Study Visa will also allow children under 18 to study long-term in the UK.

              For a course that lasts six months or less, you can apply for the Student Visitor Visa. This will allow you to enter for up to six months to study in the UK. You must be at least 18 years old and able to prove you have the correct maintenance funds.

              You must make this application from the child’s country of residence. Typically, the child can stay for the duration of their study and four months once their course is over. After this, they must leave the UK, extend their stay or switch to another visa type.
