Tier 4 Student Visas for the UK : Tier 4 General : Tier 4 Child

Tier 4 category of Points Based Immigration System of the UK replaced the earlier Student Visa category and you are now required to score points for qualifying under Tier 4 Student which comprises of Tier 4 General or Tier 4 Adult Students and Tier 4 Child Students.

If you wish to go to the UK to undertake full-time studies and if you have an unconditional offer of acceptance from an Educational Institution, College or University from the UK which has appropriate Home Office license, you can apply for Entry Clearance or Visa under Tier 4 category.

However, if your course is for a shorter duration of less than 6 months and if you do not wish to take up any work while in the UK, you may be able to apply as Student Visitor or Child Visitors (if you are under 18) and these are not covered under PBS i.e. Points Based System.

Under the Tier 4, you can go to the UK for studying for GCSEs, A Levels, Bachelor’s Degree, Post Graduate Diploma, Master’s Degree, Ph. D. or even for professional and vocational qualifications.

The main conditions to satisfy for Entry Clearance under Tier 4 are:
You must have an unconditional offer for a place with an Educational Institution, College or University which has appropriate Home Office license. The educational institution must of Tier 4 Sponsor Register at the time you submit the application for Entry Clearance.
 
You must have appropriate amount of Maintenance Fund which will cover your first year’s tuition fees plus your approximate living expenses for first 9 months in the UK or for the duration of the course, if it is less than 9 months. If you will be studying at an education provider within inner London area the maintenance fund requirement is GBP 800 per month and for outer London or any other location within the UK the maintenance fund requirement is GBP 600 per month.

Skilled VisaGuide Pvt. Ltd. will be happy to help you with your Tier 4 Student Visa application as well as securing admission at an appropriate educational institution. However, we do not insist that you must secure admission only through us and you are completely free to select the course and institution on your own.

If you wish us to help you with your admission process, we will try and suggest you the course and institution which best matches your interest and aptitude. We will also try and make sure that the educational institution we suggest has Home Office license and has ‘A’ Rating.

Please note that we are always working in your best interests and we wish that you make an informed decision about the course and the institution you select. We will also guide you in selecting a course, which will make you eligible for 2 years Tier 1 Post Study Work visa after your successful completion of the course at an appropriate level.

We have recently come across reports that a few of the colleges on whose visa letters the students got the Entry Clearance, subsequently lost their license or stopped their activities and the students had to face a lot of hardship. Therefore, it is very important to select an institution which has a very good reputation and also appropriate accreditations.

We feel that the biggest advantage we offer is that our partners HSMP Services Limited are based in the UK and if you have taken admission through us and face any problems in the UK, our partners may be able to help you.

Please check out the FAQ section for Tier 4 Students Visas which we hope will answer most of your questions. However, if you have any specific queries, please complete a simple query form on Contact us page and we will respond as soon as possible.

You may also call us on 079 3299 4776 to fix an appointment for a personal meeting when you can bring in all your relevant documents so that we can assess them and guide you properly. Please note that we charge Rs. 1,000 as initial consulting fee for fresh applicants and Rs. 2,000 for refusal cases, however we are offering 50% Off from the initial consulting fees up to 31/03/2010 as a special offer and if you decide to go for our full services, we will adjust the amount paid by you against our full service fees.
