以下是留学网为大家独家整理并翻译的英国四级一般学生签证申请注意事项，共10条，希望对有意留学英国的学生有帮助。

1.尽早申请

你可以在开课的前三个月申请，不能早于三个月。夏季是英国签证申请忙的时候，因此要尽早申请。你可以在www.gov.uk/visa-processing-times里查看自己国家的签证申请日程表。

2.核实自己是否符合四级一般学生签证

留学英国可以有不同的签证选择。选择什么样的签证取决于你选的课程类型、课程时长以及你在英国的学校类型。

四级一般学生签证有效期为你的学习期、外加课程结束后的部分时间。选适合自己的签证、理解每种签证允许你做些什么不能做什么，这很重要。

3.核实所需材料

所有签证都有证件要求，具体需要什么证件视你申请的学习签证类型而定。可以在www.gov.uk/browse/visas-immigration/student-visas网站查询你申请的签证需要哪些材料。

确保你的材料齐全，有原件，有英文翻译件。尽量不要匆匆忙忙地申请，确保你所提供的信息正确。

所有学生都需要证明已获得课程名额，可以在我们四级赞助机构表上的任一机构学习，并且达到课程要求的英语语言水平。你还需要证明自己有钱支付课程费和生活费。某些国家的申请还需要提供肺结核检查证明。

4.英语知识

申请的时候你需要证明你有一定的英语语言知识。所要求的英语水平取决于你的学校类型和课程类型。可能需要通过安全英语语言测试(SELT)。如果需要，你得在拿到确认函(CAS)之前通过考试。如果你是在英国高等教育机构学习，大部分学位和学位以上的课程不需要安全英语语言测试，因为高等教育机构会评估你的英国水平，并在确认函写明你的水平。如果有疑问，请咨询你的学校。

5.签证费

申请的时候，确保你有足够的前支付签证费，包括家人的签证费。在英国以外申请四级一般学生签证需要322英镑。

确保你所需的钱在你自己、父母一方或监护人的账户里至少存了28天。我们建议你多存，以应对可能的币值波动。

最好能提供金钱来源证明，比如家人的证明信、自己的工资单，或者贷款、奖学金证明等。

如果钱是由你的家人出，或者是放在其他人的账户里，你需要提供你和支持者关系的证明，比如信件、出生证明。

6.时间紧时选择优先服务

如果你时间紧，你或许可以使用我们的优先服务(priority services)，它允许你提前办理申请。我们在很多国家都有付费服务，比如24小时签证，3-5天签证，护照保留服务(Passport Pass-back service)。护照保留服务允许顾客在申请的多数时间保留自己的护照。

了解地方签证申请中心的服务，可以访问一下网站：www.tpcontact.co.uk(欧洲、非洲、中东部分地区);www.vfsglobal.com(其余地区)。

7.医疗附加费

如果你想在英国待6个月(不含)以上并且是欧洲经济区以外的学生，你需要付医疗附加费。每年费用为150英镑。如果你有付医疗附加费的义务，你和你的家人必须在申请签证的时候同时支付。

8.生物居留许可

如果你是来自英国以外的国家或地区，你需要在签证申请中心预约录指纹、拍照。

这属于签证是一部分，旨在确保你到了英国之后获得生物居留许可，表明你的留学身份。到英国之后，你需要在10天之内收集好生物居留许可。

9.预订旅行

我们向签证申请者建议，拿到签证之前，不要下任何关于来英国的旅行订单。我们的办证时间表根据签证申请类型变动，有时比较忙，也可能会变动。

Tier 4 (General) student visa

1. Apply early

You can apply for your visa up to three months before your course start date. Summer is the UKs busiest period for processing visas so apply as far in advance as you can. You can check the average processing times for yourcountry at www.gov.uk/visa-processing-times

2. Check that a Tier 4 (General) student visa is right for you

There are different types of visa for studying in the UK. These vary according to the type and length of your course and the type of institution you will be studying at.

A Tier 4 (General) student visa will be granted for the period of your study as well as some additional time after the end of the course. Its important you chose the right visa and understand what activities you can and cant do with each visa type.

3. Check what documents you need

All students need to demonstrate that they have a place to study at an institution on our list of Tier 4 sponsors, and that they can speak the required level of English for the course. You will also need to show that you can financially support yourself and pay for your course. Applications from some countries will also require a Tuberculosis certificate, to find out more visit www.gov.uk/tb-test-visa/overview

Make sure you have the documents ready when you apply, try not to rush your application and ensure that all the information you provide is correct.

4. Knowledge of English

You must prove your knowledge of the English language when you apply. The level of English required will depend on the type of institution you are studying at and the type of course. This may mean passing a secure English language test (SELT). If you require a SELT you must obtain this before your sponsor issues a confirmation of acceptance for studies (CAS).

If you are studying at a UK Higher Education Institution, most degree level or above courses will

not require a SELT as your institution will assess your level of English and state your level on the CAS. If in doubt, check with your institution.

5. Visa fee and funding

When you apply, ensure you have sufficient funds to cover the visa fee, including those for dependants. It costs 322 to apply for a Tier 4 (General) student visa from outside the UK.

Make sure the funds to support yourself are held in either your or your parents or guardians accounts for at least 28 days. We recommend you put a little more money in to take account of currency fluctuations.

It is a good idea to provide evidence of where your funds have come from, for example through letters from a family member or payslips, evidence of a loan or scholarship.

If a member of your family is supporting you, or the money is held in someone elses account you must provide evidence of your relationship with them, such as a letter or birth certificate.

6. Go priority if youre in a hurry

If you are on a tight timescale you may be able to use our priority services, which will place your application at the front of the queue. In many countries we offer a range of fee-paid services and options for additional flexibility, for example 24 hour visas, 35 day visas or the Passport Passback service, which enables customers to retain their passport for the majority of the application processing period.

7. Health surcharge

If youre coming to the UK for more than six months and a non-EEA national, youll need to pay the health surcharge. This is 150 per year for students. If you are liable for the surcharge, you and any dependants must pay at the same time as your visa application.

8. Biometric residence permit

If you apply from outside the UK you will need to book an appointment at a visa application centre to have your fingerprints and photo taken.This forms part of your visa application and will enable you to get your biometric residence permit once in the UK, which provides evidence of your immigration status. Youll have to collect your biometric residence permit within 10 days of your arrival date in the UK.

9. Booking your travel

We advise visa applicants not to confirm any travel arrangements until their visa has been granted. Our processing times vary according to the type of visa application and can also vary during busy periods.

10. If you need help
