Study in the UK with Visa Bridge – Your Path to Educational Excellence
Embark on an educational journey with Visa Bridge and discover the opportunities that await you in the United Kingdom. Our comprehensive support ensures a seamless transition from envisioning your academic goals to realizing them on British soil.
🎓 Why Choose the UK Student Visa?
The UK Student Visa, replacing the Tier 4 (General) student visa, is your key to pursuing educational excellence in one of the world’s most renowned education hubs. To qualify, you need to be 16 or over, have an offer from a licensed student sponsor, financial capacity, English proficiency, and, if you’re 16 or 17, parental consent.
⏰ When to Apply: Plan Your Educational Adventure
Applying from Outside the UK: Start the journey six months before your course commences, with a decision typically within three weeks.
Applying from Inside the UK: Three months prior to your course start date, ensuring your application precedes your current visa’s expiration. Expect a decision within eight weeks.
🌐 Duration of Stay: Tailored to Your Educational Pursuits
Your stay duration hinges on your course length and previous UK study. If 18 or over, a degree-level course permits up to 5 years in the UK, while below degree level allows up to 2 years. Explore our guidance to ascertain your specific stay period.
🌍 Extend Your Experience: Explore Further Opportunities
After successful completion, you can extend your stay, switch to a Student visa from another category, or opt for a Graduate visa to relish an additional 2 years in the UK.
🗓️ Travel Plans: Arrive Eager, Arrive Prepared
Plan your arrival strategically—up to 1 week before for courses lasting 6 months or less, and up to 1 month before for longer courses. Follow the specified start date on your visa.
💸 Fees and Healthcare Surcharge: Transparent Costs

Healthcare Surcharge: A crucial component, the amount varies based on your visa duration. Confirm the fee before applying.
