UK Student Visa
Overview: Securing a UK Student Visa isn’t just paperwork — it’s your legal ticket to study, live, and grow in the UK. The rules are clear, but the opportunities are limitless. Get it right, and the door to your academic future swings wide open.
This visa is for people from outside Europe who want to study in the UK (both school and higher education).
There are two student visa categories:
Tier 4 (General) – This category is for students coming to the UK for post-16 education. A Tier 4 (General) student must be at least 16 years old.
Tier 4 (Child) – This category is for children between 4 and 17 years old coming to the UK for their education. Children between 4 and 15 years old can only be educated at independent fee-paying schools.
