UK Tier 4 (Child) Student Visa

The Tier 4 (Child) Student visa is for students between the ages of 4 and 17 years who intend to study in the UK at an independent, fee-paying school or further education college.


Tier 4 (Child) Student Visa Requirements

To qualify for a Tier 4 (Child) Student visa under the UK points-based system, applicants must score a minimum of 40 points for attributes including confirmation of acceptance for studies and maintenance (available funds).

Applicants must have been accepted to study a course at an acceptable level with an approved education provider (sponsor) to obtain a valid confirmation of acceptance for studies.

Tier 4 (Child) Student visa applicants cannot have any children who live with them or for whom they are financially responsible.


Tier 4 (Child) Student Visa Entitlements

A Tier 4 (Child) Student visa entitles the holder to live and study in the UK temporarily. A Tier 4 (Child) Student visa is usually granted for the full length of the course of study plus four months after the end of the course and extensions may be granted.

A parent of a Tier 4 (Child) Student visa holder under the age of 12 years may accompany them to the UK by applying for a Parent of a Child at School Visa.
