Student Visa
Coming to the UK as a Student
The immigration permission to come to the UK is called leave to enter. You will need to obtain this before coming to the United Kingdom.
You make an immigration application with attached documents in order to prove to the immigration authorities that the following criterion is made out:
If you wish to study in the United Kingdom, you must be able to show that you have been accepted on a course of study at an institution that:
- Is on the Tier 4 register of sponsors; and
- has issued you with a CAS (Confirmation of Acceptance of Studies) Number.
- You will also need to show that you have enough maintenance funds (money) to fulfil the UKBA requirements.
Extending your immigration stay as a student
If you are in the United Kingdom you can apply to extend your stay as a student. This is called obtaining leave to remain. You need to show the same as above.
Please note that the immigration authorities require student applicants to apply for a “biometric immigration document”.
