Visas

Information for students who need a visa to study an English language programme in the UK.

Celtic English Academy is committed to complying with the visa regulations set by the UK government body, UKVI (UK Visas and Immigration) and we are thorough with our administration for all visa students. If you need to apply for a visa to enter the UK, Celtic English Academy can help you with the process. Once you have booked and paid for your course in full, we will issue you with a visa support letter.

Visa types

Many students can study in the UK for up to six months without a visa (including EU students) and some nationalities need to apply for a Standard Visitor visa.

For courses longer than six months up to 11 months, all international students need to apply for a visa before travel. This will be a Short-Term Study visa. You do not need to prove your level of English for this visa type.

Visit the Study English in the UK website for clear, simple information for students who want to study English in the UK. The website explains who needs a visa and how to apply.
