A student who is not a British citizen, or does not own a UK permanent residence card, will require a visa in order to study in the UK.

​

When an offer has been made by a school or institution that you choose to accept, the school or institution will issue a Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS) during the summer term. A CAS number is also attached to the letter, which is required for your child’s Student Visa application. This type of visa is also known as the Tier 4 (Student) Visa.

​

For children between ages 4-11 and studying in the UK at an independent fee-paying school,  parents may also choose to apply for a Parent of a Child Student visa if they wish to accompany their child.
