STUDENT VISA INFORMATION

STUDENT VISA BASIC REQUIREMENTS

You will be required to show that you have been accepted into a recognized course of study at an approved institution, can financially support yourself whilst in the UK and will not undertake employment except for permitted part time work and vacation work.

STUDENT VISA ENTITLEMENTS

The benefit of the Student Visa is that as well as studying in the UK, you are permitted to work up to 20 hours a week part time during term periods and full time in the vacation periods without seeking further permission from the Home Office.

Graduate level students may also be entitled to switch into a working Visa category in some circumstances that could lead to settlement in the UK.

STUDENT VISAS TO THE UK

This visa is for students who intend to study at a UK institution on a full time course. The student Visa is flexible to apply to both short and long term courses.

Usually student Visas would be granted for courses of at least 6 months in length but it is possible to obtain a Visa for a shorter course. The students must be able to maintain and accommodate themselves while they are studying and show that they are able to pay their course fees.

DO I QUALIFY FOR A STUDENT VISA?

The Free Student Visa Eligibility Assessment is designed to instantly determine if you are eligible to apply for a UK Student Visa. It uses criteria set by the Home Office.

STUDENT VISA PROCESSING TIME AND COSTS

Government Application Fees: £99
Processing Time: 1-12 weeks

EARNING WHILE STUDYING IN UK

Current immigration regulations permit international students to work only part time up to maximum of 20 hours a week and full time during vacations. By working 10 to 15 hours a week, you could earn enough to pay for incidentals such as books, clothing, and personal expenses, but your campus job cannot pay your major expenses, such as tuition or room and board.
