Applying for TIER 4 Visa from outside of the UK

If you are applying from outside the UK for a Tier 4 student visa, you will be applying for an Entry Clearance visa. This visa will be a 30 day visa that will allow you to enter the UK. Once you are in the UK, will you need to collect your Tier 4 BRP visa either from UEA or a local Post Office within 10 days of arriving in the UK. This will depend on which option you have chosen during your visa application.  Your Tier 4 visa will then be a Biometric Residence Permit (BRP).

Before you apply for your visa, please read our Biometric Residence Permit page which contains information you need to know when completing your application form about arranging collection of your Tier 4 visa once in the UK. You must also pay the Immigration Health Surcharge as part of your Tier 4 visa application.

Please note this page has general information regarding applying from outside of the UK for a Tier 4 Student Visa and should only be used as a guide. Read the Home Office Tier 4 Policy Guidance for the full requirements.
