Can I travel to UK on a not-yet-expired student visa?

Post by alobo2 » Fri Nov 09, 2012 10:19 pm

Hey, I am really hoping someone can provide me with some insight on this. So basically I obtained a general student visa tier 4 in 2009 which was different to the tier 4 visa which is issued now or so I've heard.

Anyway my student visa is valid till October 2013 as I was doing a four year course however I chose to finish my course in 3 years instead, therefore graduating in 2012, this summer.

I was planning on visiting UK to see my friends for a few days. I have already made an appointment for a tourist visa. However I was wondering would it be legal to travel on my current visa? The only reason I say this is because I am worried my visit visa may not be approved in time :( . Really want to make this trip!!! Can someone please provide me with any information regarding this? Also on a general note , could this visa be utilised to study in any educational institution for the period of 2013 or would that be illegal? Thank you for your help:).

No, your student visa is not valid (321(ii), 321A(i)).
