Below you will find information on the Standard Visitor Visa (previously know as Short-term study visa) for students coming to study in the UK for up to 6 months.

Family members

If you would like family members to visit you in Glasgow or London or attend your graduation ceremony, they will need to apply to come to the UK as Standard visitors. They should visit the UKVI website to find out how to apply from their country. A standard visitor visa can last a maximum of 6 months, and cannot be extended. They can apply for a visa up to 3 months before the date of travel to the UK.
