a UK Tier 4 Student Visa?

the entry requirements:
a) a valid passport or travel document

as listed on the CAS statement.

If your application for a student visa is unsuccessful,
and you wish to apply for a refund you MUST submit a
refund application form and a copy of the Visa Refusal
document given to you by the office that refused your
visa. The reasons for your visa refusal will be taken into
consideration by the College when you apply for a refund.

forged documents you will not be eligible for a refund.
