英国的留学签证统称TIER4 Student Visa一般分为两类，一种是语言签证(需要前往英国先就读语言课程达到要求的雅思才能开始正课学习)，一种是正课签证(凭正式OFFER)办理签证。在进行申请前要对英国的签证申请材料有初步的了解，在这其中最重要的就是CAS(Confirmation of Acceptance Statement). CAS是由英国学校和英国移民局确认学生入学信息而出具的信息表(包括了CAS号码、学校的代码、执照代码、课程名称、上课时间、学费生活费等关键信息)，要求学生获得无条件录取才能取得。只有确定有CAS才能开始签证的申请。在整个英国签证申请中，一切信息的填写以CAS为标准。

Part Three 英国签证肺结核检查
英国边境服务局颁布的2014年最新的签证申请要求。出示肺结核检测的健康证件将纳入申请6个月以上长期签证的申请者，除非是受到英国移民法的豁免，如否则包括留学(如已满11周岁)与工作类的申请人都将进行此项检测。
专家建议留学生提前2-3月进行检测
据了解，进行检测时，申请人需要提供身份证和护照。检测项目主要是胸部X射线，费用为550元人民币，直接向医院交纳。如果通过胸部X射线检查尚无定论，医院可能要求申请者进行痰标本检查。由于痰标本检查可能需要两个月才能出结果，建议学生提前2-3个月进行检测，以免耽误递签时间。
英国留学签证办理准备材料如下：
1. 护照及一张复印件、身份证
2. 费用为RMB 550/次
3. 半年内大一寸白底彩色照片两张;
