Student Visa from Kenya to United Kingdom

Student Visa from Kenya to United Kingdom Description

Kenyans traveling to the UK for study purposes are eligible for the UK student visa.
This visa is also known as a Tier 4 general student visa.
If you’re studying a short course and are over 18 years old, you may be eligible for the short-term study visa. This is valid up to six months for most short courses and can be extended for a stay of up to 11 months for English language courses.
If you’re studying a longer course, you’ll need to make sure your chosen institution holds a Tier 4 Sponsor License. You can either apply for a Tier 4 (Child) student visa (if you’re aged 4-17 and want to study at an independent school in the UK) or a Tier 4 (General) student visa for those aged 16 and over
Applicants over the age of 16 years can apply for this visa.
It is important that the applicant pay for a healthcare surcharge as part of your application.
