The Tier 4 (General) category is for adult students who want to come to or remain in the UK for post 16 education.
If are 16 or 17 years old and you want to study a course at or above National Qualfication Framework level 3, you and your approved education provider (known as a 'Tier 4 sponsor') can agree whether you should apply under this category or under Tier 4 (Child).
However, if you want to study English as a foreign language you must apply as a Tier 4 (General) Student.
We are able to assist with Postal/Same-Day visa applications for the Tier 4 Category.
You will have to be able to show you have a place in a course with an approved education provider, and have enough money to cover your course fees and monthly living costs when you submit your application. You may need a lower amount of money for your living costs.
