Student Study / Visa Requirements
If you are a national of a country that is on the 'visa national list' it is compulsory to obtain a visa before travelling to the UK. You will have to apply to enter under a ‘Student Visitor’ visa. When travelling under a ‘Student Visitor’ visa the maximum period of stay, and therefore course duration, is 26 weeks. To come to EKGTA as a student visitor you must show that you have been unconditionally accepted on a course ( Visa Support Letter ). You must also be at least 18 years old and have the financial resources to accommodate and maintain yourself during the visit.
