UK Student Visitor For English Language Students

From the 10th January 2011 English Language Students who are to attend English Language Courses only in the UK will be able to apply for an extended student visitor for up to 11 Months.

The extended Student Visitor Visa will be only for applicants outside the UK and student wanting to study non-English language courses in the UK for longer than six months will still require a Tier 4 visa. Non-Visa Nationals who would under normal circumstances need a visa to study longer than six months NEED TO APPLY for the Extended Visa.

Other Visa Requirements and restrictions of the Extended Student Visitor will be the same as the Student Visitor already in place.

The Student Visitor does not allow:

Students to work in the UK
Take up employment in the UK
Bring any dependents in the UK
extend the visa or switch into another category


The fee for the new extended student visitor will be the same as the current fee for the Student Visitor.

Tuition Fees For Poorest

Under the new scheme from the Govt which was unveiled recently, could see the poorest, disadvantaged youth receiving up to two years tuition fees paid for them.
This plan intends to increase the number of children from poorer families that will study at universities in the UK.

It has been estimated that about 18,000 students per year could benefit from the Govt's new plan saving them up to 18,000 GBP.

Any student that has been eligible for free school meals and is accepted to University for studies would have one year's tuition fees paid by the Govt.

The funding is intended to come from a 150 Million Pound National Scholarship Programme announced by Vince Cable.
