UK Tier 4 Visa route for overseas students has been changed to UK Student Visa route. This new UK Student Visa programme is a simplified global visa system, which applies equally to all international students including EEA European Union nationals. The latest changes will only have limited effect on students which are already studying in the United Kingdom. However, the new visa rules will apply to all new applications from January 1, 2021.
To find out all the up to date information about the new UK Student Visa route, the new visa application process and updated rules, please contact our Tier4Visa advisor team.
The purpose of the UK's points-based immigration system is to prioritise skills and talent over where a person comes from. International students who want to apply for a student visa need to score 70 points. In addition, every student must meet all the requirements in order to study in the UK. Note that Irish citizens do not require permission to come to the UK (except in specific circumstances), therefore they are not qualified to apply under the new points-based immigration system.
Also, graduate students who wish to come to the UK for work must meet specific requirements under the points-based immigration system. The required score is different based on students’ circumstances.
Keep in mind that the rules of the new points-based immigration system may be different for each type of study visa. Please contacts us for further information.
