Q. Can I switch from student dependant status to a student in my own right whilst in the UK? A. Generally, no. You usually need to have been last admitted to the United Kingdom in possession of a valid student entry clearance or valid prospective student entry clearance. However, some people can switch whilst in the UK, if for example they are on a Sabbatical Officer visa or a Tier 2 visa but switching status to student visa category in-country is extremely limited and an individual would most likely apply for entry clearance from the British Embassy in their home country. The above answer is meant to be relied upon as an informative article and in no way constitutes legal advice.
