A Student Visitor Visa allows you to come to the UK to study on certain courses for a brief period. You can apply for this visa only if you have been accepted to study on an approved course. The duration of the course must be between 6 and 11 months.
You must fulfill many requirements to be eligible for the Student Visitor Visa. Your course, in particular, must be an English language course as you can’t apply for this type of Standard Visitor Visa if your course is in any other study area.
