Requirements
The Student visa replaced the old Tier 4 visa in 2020. These are the main things you need.
An unconditional offer and a Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies from a university or college licensed to sponsor students.
Unpaid first-year tuition plus living costs for up to 9 months, held for 28 consecutive days, from savings or a family sponsor.
IELTS, PTE, TOEFL or Cambridge results. Universities usually ask for IELTS 6.0 to 6.5 for bachelor's and 6.5 to 7.5 for master's.
Transcripts and certificates: A-level equivalent for undergraduate study, a recognised bachelor's for a master's.
Pay the Immigration Health Surcharge for NHS access, and get a TB test certificate from an approved clinic.
A valid passport, plus fingerprints and a photo at the visa application centre. Decisions are now issued as an eVisa.
Living costs (from 11 November 2025): GBP 1,529 a month in London, GBP 1,171 a month elsewhere in the UK, for up to 9 months. Check GOV.UK before you apply.
