To be eligible for a UK student visa, you need acceptance from a UK institution, sufficient funds to cover fees and living costs, English proficiency, and meeting health requirements.

The main types of visas are Tier 4 (General) for full-time study and Tier 4 (Child) for those under 18. The visa allows you to study, live in the UK, work part-time, and bring dependents.

Required documents are your passport, completed application form, CAS from your institution, proof of funds, English test scores like IELTS or TOEFL, and potentially a TB test.

To apply, create a UKVI account, complete the online application, pay the £490 fee, attend a biometrics appointment, and submit your documents.

The duration of your stay depends on factors like your course length. At the degree level, you can stay up to 5 years, while below the degree level is up to 2 years. Extensions are possible in some cases.

You can work part-time during your studies and full-time during vacations. Bringing dependents is possible for some postgraduate courses. If rejected, you can appeal or reapply.

Healthcare access depends on your visa duration. After graduating, you can switch to a UK work visa. Financial requirements vary based on your specific circumstances.
