Immigration uk
All international students from outside the European Economic Area
(EEA) need toobtain immigration permission (commonly called a student
visa) to enter the UK. The UK government has introduced a new Points
Based System for Immigration which has several ‘Tiers’. The student
Tier (Tier 4) came into force on 31 March 2009.
This section aims to explain the process in a straightforward manner.
Ultimately it is your responsibility to familiarise yourself with all therequirements of the Immigration Rules for Tier 4. The Immigration Rules
and Policy Guidance for Tier 4 are available on the UK Border Agency
(UKBA) website at www.bia.homeoffice.gov.uk/studyingintheuk
In the meantime we will update our guidance at www.gold.ac.uk/
international/visa as new information becomes available. Further advice
and guidance is also available from:
