The application for UK universities by Indians students has seen a substantial rise in the recent years, but the most common reason for unable to pursue the course is the number of visa applications that have been refused even after securing a place in the course or university. Hence it is of utmost importance to take due care as to how you can apply for a UK student visa.

As the UK offers tailor-made visas for every kind of student it is necessary to be well equipped as to what criteria of visa that you actually want to apply. For people situated outside the UK, you have to apply online for a tier 4 visa. You also need to provide your biometrics i.e. your fingerprint and your photograph taken at the nearest visa application centre to get a biometric resident permit as part of your visa application. It is necessary to collect for you biometric resident card 10 days prior to your day of the visit to the UK even if you actually enter the UK at a later day. You may be able to get your visa faster or other services depending on what country you’re in and checking with the nearest visa centre.

You can apply for inside the UK for a visa to either extend your visa or switch your visa from another category. In such cases:

  • you need to apply within 6 months of getting a confirmation of acceptance for studies(CAS)
  • before your current visa expires – but no more than 3 months before the course start date on your CAS

You can stay in the UK until you get your decision as to whether your application is rejected or not. You can apply for Standard, Priority or Premium service centre with regards to the urgency of your situation, but due care as to be taken to the fact that each day only limited slots are available for Premium and Priority Slots. While applying, you also need to pay for the healthcare surcharge as part of your application which varies from person to person.
