Immigration rules for students
The student provisions in the immigration rules either for short term courses or longer courses can form the basis of an application for entry, limited work and in the right circumstances for settlement in the United Kingdom.
STUDY IN THE UK
The immigration permission to come to the UK is called ‘leave to enter’. You will need to obtain this visa before coming into the United Kingdom.
If you wish to study in the UK, 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.
The immigration authorities also require student applicants to apply for a “biometric immigration document”.
At Vertex, we will ensure that your application has the best chances of achieving a favourable outcome. We have developed a bespoke procedure to build partnerships with our Tier 4 applicants and to support you throughout your application process. Take the first step right.
