Short-term study transition to Tier 4 Student visa

Post by Syneil » Sun Jun 16, 2019 9:30 pm

Hi all,

Question is similar to uk-tier-4-student-visas/switch-from-tie ... 82003.html but I couldn't see anything more specific without being able to "Search".

If someone (Russian, if that matters) gets a short-term visa can they enter the country with this, use it (e.g. to study English and get an IETFL certificate), then get and transition into a general student visa without leaving the country? The GOV.UK site says the short-term visa cannot be extended, but I don't see anything about getting a different type of visa.

Thanks in advance!

Switch to this visa
You may be able to change (switch) to a Tier 4 (General) student visa if you’re in the UK under any of the following visas or schemes:

Tier 2 (General)
Tier 2 (Intra-company transfer)
Tier 2 (Minister of religion)
Tier 4 (Child)
You should include any dependants who are on your current visa on your application to extend - including children who have turned 18 during your stay.
