The Student Route Visa is the replacement for the Tier 4 (General) Student Visa.
This change was made in October 2020, to encourage more prospective international students to come to the UK to study.
It was made available to all EU/EEA students looking to study in the UK from 1 January 2021.
If your course is longer than six months, the Student Route Visa allows you to arrive in the UK one month before the course begins. If it lasts less than six months, you can arrive in the UK one week before the course begins.
For any questions about the visa information, including a list of visa application centres and their contact details, you can contact the International and Student Experience team.
A major requirement of the Student Route Visa is that students intend to return to their country of origin once the course is completed.
Before you travel to the UK, ensure you have all essential documents ready and understand the necessary steps and precautions.
If you are considering studying in the UK, contact experienced immigration lawyers Jones Whyte for visa advice and assistance.
