A step-by-step guide that explains what you need to do during the application process.

Study English in the UK

How do I apply for a short-term study visa?

You can apply for your visa online up to 3 months before you travel to the UK. Don’t worry about completing it all in one go. You can save your form and come back to it later if you want to. This way you can check that everything is filled out correctly. 

As part of the application process, you’ll have to book an appointment at a visa application centre. This will be where you show your documents and confirm your identity. In case your nearest one is in another country, it’s a good idea to leave plenty of time for this. You can find one near you.

The visa application centre might keep your passport and documents while they process your application. Don’t panic if this happens, it’s completely normal.
