Student Visas
The Student Visa route allows international students aged 16 or over to study in the UK with a Home Office licensed student sponsor. Applicants must hold a valid Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS), meet the English language and financial requirements, and satisfy the Genuine Student requirement under the Immigration Rules. Depending on the course and individual circumstances, applicants may be able to extend their permission or switch into the student route from within the UK. The student route does not itself lead to settlement.
Child Student Visas
The Child Student Visa is for international children aged between 4 and 17 who want to study at a UK independent (fee-paying) school that holds a valid Home Office student sponsor licence. This route is separate from the standard Student Visa and is specifically designed for younger learners.
Student Dependant Visas
The Student Dependant route allows the eligible partner or child of certain Student visa holders to accompany or join them in the UK. Eligibility depends on the immigration status of the main Student applicant and the nature of their course. Applicants must satisfy the relevant relationship, financial and suitability requirements under the Immigration Rules.
Student Visa Extensions & Switching
Students who are already in the UK may be able to extend their student visa to continue their studies or switch to the student route from another eligible immigration category. Applications must satisfy the requirements of Appendix Student, including obtaining a valid Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS) and meeting the relevant eligibility requirements. Not all immigration categories permit switching into the student route, and applicants must submit their application before their current permission expires.
