TIER 4 GENERAL STUDENT VISA

Tier 4 General Visa Solicitors Glasgow, Scotland

What is a Tier 4 General Visa?

Tier 4 General student visa provides an opportunity to those overseas students who want to achieve a higher academic goal in the UK. When you receive an unconditional offer of a Higher Educational Institution (HEI) they will issue you a Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS), which has a unique reference number and contains information about the course of study for which it has been issued and the student’s personal details. You need the CAS to apply your Tier 4 General student visa. Interviewing may be a part of the application to check that you are a genuine student.
