Student Visa $20 Most students studying for 6 months or less who are US citizens will apply for a UK ETA about 1 month before departure, which costs £16. For students studying in the UK for 6 months or less who are required to apply for a standard visitor visa (some non US-citizens), the visa fee is £115. To expedite a UK visa application is an additional £500-£1000 (estimated). Students not requiring expedited service should budget an additional $50 in shipping (estimated). Visa costs are subject to change.
