What is the UK Student Visa?
The UK Student Visa allows eligible international students to study at approved educational institutions across the United Kingdom.
The Student Visa route replaced the former Tier 4 Student Visa and forms part of the UK’s modern Points-Based Immigration System.
Applicants must demonstrate genuine study intentions, satisfy financial requirements, and hold a valid Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS).
Legate Hub Immigration assists students with every stage of the process, from eligibility reviews and documentation to application submission and ongoing immigration support.
