国际学生英国签证

Most international students require a UK Student visa if:

• their course lasts longer than 6 months

• they are studying full time in the UK.

Some students may not need a visa if:

• they are a non-visa national studying for less than 6 months

• they already have permission to stay in the UK without time limits.

It costs £524 to apply for a UK Student visa (increasing to £558 from 08 April 2026). If you need to pay the Immigration Health Surcharge, this usually costs £776 per year for international students.

When applying for a UK Student visa, international students are required to provide several documents to support their application.

You will usually need:

• a valid passport with at least one page that is blank on both sides (for visa printing purposes)

• your CAS (Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies)

• proof of funds (tuition and living costs)

• tuberculosis test results (if required)

• parental consent (if under 18).

You may need additional documents depending on your situation. It is recommended that you submit all documents as soon as possible to avoid delays or a refusal.

You can apply between 3 and 6 months before your programme starts, once you receive your CAS. Applying early is recommended to avoid delays.

A Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS) is a document issued by your university that you need to apply for a UK Student visa.

Yes, but it depends on your course level:

• below degree level: up to 10 hours/week

• degree level: up to 20 hours/week

• outside term time: full-time work allowed.

Students on short-term or visitor visas usually cannot work.

An eVisa is a digital record of your UK immigration status, replacing physical visa documents like BRPs.

Before travelling, you should:

• create a UKVI account

• link your passport

• check your visa details are correct

• generate a share code if needed.
