What is a Tier 4 (General) Student Application?
The Tier 4 (General) Student Visa is designed for international students who wish to study in the UK at a recognized institution. This visa enables students to pursue higher education, access world-class universities, and, in some cases, work part-time while studying.
There are two types of applications under this category:
Initial Application – For students applying for a Tier 4 visa for the first time to begin their studies in the UK.
Extension Application – For students already in the UK who need to extend their stay to complete their course, start a new program, or continue onto a higher level of study.
The visa duration usually depends on the length of the course, with the possibility of extending if you pursue further studies.
Required Documents
The documents needed may vary depending on the applicant’s country of residence and specific institution, but generally include:
Valid passport or travel document
Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS) from a licensed UK institution
Proof of financial support (bank statements or sponsorship letter)
Evidence of parental or guardian consent (for applicants under 18)
Academic qualifications and transcripts
Proof of English language proficiency (e.g., IELTS, TOEFL, or approved test)
Tuberculosis (TB) test results (if applicable)
Recent passport-sized photographs (as per UKVI requirements)
Fees & Processing Time
Fees: Depend on the visa category and immigration authority charges. Additional service or biometrics fees may apply.
Processing Time:
Applications made outside the UK: usually 3–6 weeks
Applications made inside the UK (extensions): typically 8 weeks
