Description
1 - Study: The primary purpose of this visa is for individuals to pursue a full-time course of study at a UK institution. This could be a university, college, or other accredited educational institution. The course must be at a certain academic level, such as degree level or above, and the institution must be a licensed Tier 4 sponsor.
2 - Work: Tier 4 (General) visa holders are generally permitted to work part-time during term time and full-time during vacations, provided their visa conditions allow it. The number of hours allowed for work may vary depending on the level of study and the specific institution.
3 - Duration: The duration of the Tier 4 visa depends on the length of the academic program. Typically, it covers the duration of the course of study, with some additional time allowed at the end for students to wrap up their affairs in the UK or to undertake further study or work.
4 - Financial Requirements: Applicants for this visa are usually required to demonstrate that they have enough money to support themselves during their stay in the UK without needing public funds. The exact amount required varies depending on the circumstances, including the length and location of the course.
5 - English Language Proficiency: Depending on the level of study and the institution, applicants may need to demonstrate their proficiency in the English language by taking a secure English language test (SELT) or providing evidence of having completed a previous qualification taught in English.
Healthcare Surcharge: As of my last update, individuals applying for a Tier 4 visa are required to pay a healthcare surcharge as part of their application. This gives them access to the UK's National Health Service (NHS) during their stay.
5 - Post-Study Options: Depending on their circumstances, individuals may have options to extend their stay in the UK after completing their studies, either for further study, work, or other purposes.
It's important to note that immigration policies and visa requirements can change, so it's always advisable to check the most up-to-date information on the UK government's official website or consult with a qualified immigration advisor.
