Can I apply for a Student Route visa from inside the UK whilst on a different visa type?
Only people who were last granted leave in certain immigration categories are able to make a Student Route visa application in the UK. These categories are:
- Student Route
- Tier 4 (General) Student
- Tier 4 (Child) Student
- Tier 1 (Post-study Work) Migrant
- Tier 2 Migrant
- Prospective Student
- Certain categories that were in place before the introduction of the Points-Based System. See the UKCISA website for more information.
