If you need to apply for a Tier 4 visa to study with us, you must:
- Have accepted the Offer of a place at Bristol International College and paid the necessary funds, you will then be issued with a CAS (Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies) number.
You will then be ready to apply for your visa using the online visa application form and you will be asked to provide supporting documents that give evidence of your identity, academic qualifications and the ability to fund your studies in the UK. These include:
- your passport
- any previous passports and UK visas
- two recent, colour photographs
- a signed letter from your parents consenting to your studying in the UK if you are under 18 at the time of the visa application (template provided by BIC)
- academic evidence – this will be listed on your CAS

Please note that we may also request to see copies of any documents required to submit for the visa application. This includes bank statements or letters, birth certificates and information about your parents. Although applying for a visa can be difficult, with the help of our experienced International Admissions team, we will be able to guide you through the process and answer any questions you may have regarding obtaining a visa to study at BIC.
