Are original documents for the short-term study visa are also not required anymore?
I got back from UK visa center in Moscow after applying for a Standard Visitor visa. They did not accept any of my originals documents, only copies. They scanned my copies and gave them back to me. I asked two workers there:
-- Don't you accept any of originals for all kinds of visas?
-- No, we do not
Now I am asking the community here:
Originals documents for Short-term study visa are also not required anymore?
Please be aware that Visitor_Supporting_Documents_Guide the following is written:
All documents must be originals and not photocopies.
But actually, for Standard Visitor Visa it is not true anymore.
Best Answer
I'm not sure why you were told what you were. All online documentation, including the Short Term Study VISA application page on the UK Government site says you need original documentation only.
In your case, were I you (if you can afford it), I would take the originals, certified copies, and regular copies of all of your documentation. That way, no matter what they ask for, you've covered all of your bases, so to speak.

Answer 2
It was a case for the Moscow center. They took your copies because you have original documents, thus in this way, they confirm that you have in fact original documents. For further work the Migration only deals with copies. It is understandable for them that you have original docs.
If you did not bring the original docs, they could reject taking only copies. But in fact, and in my case they often accept copies without original docs, it is probably depends on the officer.
