UK Student Visa, also known as a Tier 4 (General) student visa, is a type of visa that allows non-EEA (European Economic Area) and non-Swiss nationals to study in the United Kingdom. It is designed for individuals who want to pursue full-time education at a UK institution, such as a university or a recognized higher education institution.

UK has implemented a points-based immigration system, which includes a specific route for students. Here are some key points about the UK Student Visa:

1. Eligibility: To be eligible for a UK Student Visa, you generally need to have an offer of a place from a licensed education provider, prove your proficiency in English, and show that you have enough money to support yourself during your studies.
2. Duration: The duration of the visa depends on the length of your course. Typically, it allows you to stay in the UK for the full duration of your course, plus a short period after the end of your course.
3. Work and Study: In most cases, you’re allowed to work part-time (up to 20 hours per week) during term time and full-time during vacations. There might be some exceptions, so it’s important to check the specific details of your visa.
4. Dependents: Under certain circumstances, you may be able to bring your dependents (like spouse or children) with you on a dependent visa.
5. Biometric Information: You will usually need to provide biometric information (fingerprints and a photograph) as part of the application process.
6. Healthcare Surcharge: As of my last update, most students are required to pay a healthcare surcharge as part of their visa application. This gives you access to the UK’s National Health Service (NHS) during your stay.
7. Switching Courses: You may be able to switch to a different course or apply for further study in the UK under certain conditions.
8. Visa Extensions: You might be able to extend your visa if you’re continuing your studies or if you’re applying for a new course.
