Tier 4 Child Student Visa Application
A Tier 4 Child Student Visa application allows anyone under the age of 17 to move to the UK to study. A Child Study Visa falls under the category of Tier 4 (Child) of the points-based system.
To apply, the child must be between 4-17 years old and intend to study in a UK institution for at least six months. If you are a student aged 16 or 17 who wants to study in the UK for more than six months you can apply for a Tier 4 Visa under either the ‘Child’ or ‘General’ categories.

Frequently Asked Questions
This visa will need to be applied for from the child’s country of residence.
The applicant must show that they have been accepted onto a course at an independent, fee-paying school. They must also have written consent from their parent or legal guardian.
Proof of appropriate living funds, which cover the child’s study period in the UK must be provided. In addition, identification documents and a lengthy application form must also be submitted.
With this kind of visa, a child is eligible to study in any UK independent school.
However, the Tier 4 (Child) Visa does not entitle the holder to study in an academy, local-authority or state-funded school.
Our specialists are well-versed in the rules and regulations held by the Home Office when granting Child Study Visas. They can advise you on what you and your child are able to do with this visa.
