If you are at least 16 years old and you have been accepted to a UK college, you should apply for a Tier 4 student visa. In order to receive such visa, you need to pass the IELTS test that shows the knowledge of your spoken and written the English language, and you will need to prove you can pay for the courses and for your stay in the UK. It is good to know that future students can receive a student visa with availability for the entire course, no matter if it’s for six months or for two years.
