建议在出行前 30 天 至 3 个月 开始办理。
The child must be between 4 and 17 years old and want to study at an independent school in the UK.
You must have an unconditional offer of a place on a course at an independent school, who issues a Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS).
You must have the consent of your parent or legal guardian to study and live in the UK.
You must apply online for a Child Student visa. It costs £558 to apply from outside the UK, plus the healthcare surcharge.
You'll either use the 'UK Immigration: ID Check' app to scan your identity document, or have fingerprints and a photo (biometric information) taken at a visa application centre.

在哪里申请
在美国的申请方式
按辖区申请Because you live in the USA, you apply at a UK Visa Application Centre in the US — not in your home country. There are UK visa application centres in 30+ US cities (including Los Angeles, San Francisco, Washington DC, Chicago, Houston, Dallas, Miami, Atlanta, Boston, Philadelphia and Seattle). Use the official VFS US centre directory (linked below) to find and book the one nearest you.

- 名额分批放出，没有固定的公开时间——通常在当地清晨、周一上午以及每月 1 号前后。
- 热门领事馆（如法国、意大利、西班牙的大城市）一批名额可能在几分钟内被抢光——请提前注册并登录后再查看。
- 全天都可能因取消而释放名额，因此即使显示“无可预约”也请每天查看。
- 因此请尽早申请——最早可在出行前六个月。拖到出行前 1–2 个月往往已无名额。
温馨提示
- The Child Student visa is only for children aged 4 to 17 studying at an independent school — not for state schools or universities.
- You must have the consent of your parent or legal guardian to study and live in the UK before you apply.
