The standard processing time for a UK student visa (Student Route, formerly Tier 4) is usually 3 weeks (15 working days) from the date you attend your biometric appointment at the visa application centre and submit your documents.

However, actual processing times may vary depending on:
- The country you apply from
- The time of year (peak periods may take longer)
- Whether additional documents or information are requested

Priority and Super Priority Services:
In some locations, you may be able to pay extra for a Priority (decision in 5 working days) or Super Priority (decision by the next working day) visa service. Availability depends on your country.

When should you apply?
- You can apply for your UK student visa up to 6 months before your course start date if you’re outside the UK.
- It is recommended to apply as early as possible to avoid delays.
