BEFORE COMING TO THE UK Students who require a visa to enter in the United Kingdom must attend a course of at least 15 hours of instruction per week at a school that is a registered TIER4 sponsor. European Economic Area (EEA) nationals do not require a visa to enter and study in the United Kingdom. Students can apply for two types of student visa: Student Visitor Visa: This does not fall under TIER4 and therefore students can attend a course at any level at an accredited school. EXTENDING YOUR VISA
Students apply to the Home Office to extend their visas (address below). You should apply for an extension about one month before your current visa expires. You can go to the Home Office to make your application but you must make an appointment before going there; however, generally we recommend that you post your application. Your application should include: your passport, a detailed bank statement for the last three months or a sponsor's letter and bank balance, a school letter, your police registration certificate if you were asked to register and the Home Office fee.
