Can I go with my child to the UK?ShowHide
Yes if your child is under 12 and you apply for the Parent of a Child Student visa. You cannot work, you must show separate living funds, and you leave when the child turns 12 or finishes the course. For a child of 12 or over, boarding or an approved carer is the usual route.
Does my child need IELTS?ShowHide
No. There is no English test for the Child Student visa. The school decides whether the child's English is good enough, often with its own entrance test.
How much money do we need to show?ShowHide
One academic year of school fees as on the CAS, plus boarding fees where the child boards. If the child lives with a parent on a Parent of a Child Student visa, the parent must show £1,560 a month for up to 9 months plus £625 a month for each additional child. Check gov.uk for the current figures before you file.
