The UK Student Visa
For students who apply with Hands On Education Consultants, we help you prepare the necessary documents for your student visa application, as well as other steps in the process, completely free of charge.
Whether studying a Bachelor’s degree, Master’s degree or Doctorate degree in the United Kingdom, you have to apply for a Tier 4 (General) Student Visa.
In order to apply for a Tier 4 (General) Student Visa, you need to prepare the following documents:
- Current Passport
- Visa Application Form (print after filling out the application form online)
- IOM Certificate (confirming you are free from tuberculosis)
- ATAS Certificate (Academic Technology Approval Scheme certificate, for certain sensitive subjects)
To start the visa application process, simply fill out the application form online, pay the service fee and book an appointment; where they will take your photo and fingerprints, as well as possibly interview you. The review process usually takes up to 15 working days.
*Students should pay particular attention to detail on the online application form, as filling out the form incorrectly could result in your application being denied. If you are unsure, Hands On counsellors are here to help and check that everything is in order before you apply.
