To enable us to issue you with a CAS, the Home Office UK Visas & Immigration (formerly UKBA) requires that we state whether you have previously studied in the UK on a Tier 4 General visa or a General Student visa (this was the visa that pre-dated the Tier 4 General visa).

Have you previously studied in the UK on a Tier 4 General Student visa, or a General Student visa (see sample images for guidance)?

Yes

I have previously studied in the UK on a Tier 4 General visa (or a Student Visa issued before 2009)

No

I have not previously studied in the UK on a Tier 4 General visa (or a Student Visa issued before 2009).

Or, I have ONLY previously studied in the UK on a Tier 4 (Child) Visa or a Short Term Student Visa (or Student Visitor Visa issued before 2016).
