ENGLISH LANGUAGE students looking to study only English Language Courses will from today be able to apply for a STUDENT VISITOR VISA which will allow these students to stay in the UK for up to 11 months.

This extended STUDENT VISITOR VISA will be available exclusively to applications made outside the UK.

Please note that the requirements and restrictions of the EXTENDED STUDENT VISITOR will be the same as the current STUDENT VISITOR. Applicants under this STUDENT VISITOR VISA are NOT ALLOWED:

THIS EXTENDED STUDENT VISITOR VISA does NOT affect any applications to study NON-ENGLISH LANGUAGE COURSES in the UK for longer than six months, and anyone thinking of applying for a course like this (Longer than six months and non English Language) needs to still apply under the TIER 4 rules of the POINTS BASED SYSTEM.
