Tier 4 Student Visa

If you are an international student thinking of coming to UK to study, then you are looking to come in on a Tier 4 General student visa. Students come from far and wide to study in the UK, a country which is renowned for its reputation, quality and tradition of teaching. With world-renowned universities and schools, the UK education system is well-recognised as a hub for the most intelligent and skilled, who go on to become future leaders of their industries.

EAIM can help you reach your goals and further your education in the UK. Our team of expert UK immigration lawyers have personally assisted hundreds of students reach their goals by helping them start their education and career on the right path. We make sure that you get the visa right the first time.

For new and existing students in the UK who need to obtain a Tier 4 General visa, you will need to obtain a total of 40 points in order to qualify:

  • 30 points - Certificate of Acceptance to Study (CAS) Number
  • 10 points - Maintenance

The CAS number confirms the student has an offer from the relevant authorised Tier 4 institution. Often, the education institution will list a few documents on the CAS statement, stating what they used to assess the student's suitability and/or progression.

As well as showing the offer, the applicant will also need to demonstrate evidence that they can financially maintain themselves. The amount required varies depending on whether they are studying "in London" or "outside London", as well as having the balance of the course fees (if applicable).

EAIM assists with the visa process from start to finish. We communicate with the relevant educational institution to ensure that the CAS number and the CAS statement are correct. We also work with the relevant financial body or bank where necessary to make sure that your bank statements and maintenance are correct. This is especially important if the maintenance is not in the main applicant's name and supported by a third party.
