Child Student Visa UK

In order to be eligible for a Child Student Visa, you must:

  • Be a genuine student;
  • Have been offered a place on a course by a licensed student Sponsor which is an independent school;
  • Have a Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies by a licensed student Sponsor which is an independent school;
  • Intend to study a course that meets the Course Requirements in Appendix Child Student of the Immigration Rules;
  • Have enough money to support yourself and pay for your course. You must prove that you have held the required level of funds for 28 days before the date of Application. You do not need to satisfy the financial requirement if you fall within the ‘differential evidence’ requirement;
  • Provide evidence of the qualifications you used to obtain the offer of a place on the course from the licensed student Sponsor;
  • Have parental consent from your parents or legal guardian;
  • Provide a valid Tuberculosis Certificate if you are travelling from a country listed in Appendix T of the Immigration Rules.

When Must I Apply For A Child Student Visa?

Once you have been offered a place on the course by a licensed student Sponsor, you will be assigned a Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (“CAS”). It is important to note that you must apply for your Child Student Visa within 6 months of receiving your CAS.

If you are applying from outside the UK, you must apply for your Child Student Visa no earlier than 6 months before you start your course. If you are applying from within the UK, you must apply for your Child Student Visa no earlier than 3 months before you start your course.
