Help with uni finance

I am currently in year 13 and I think I will be perceived as an international student however I will get the indefinite right to remain on early September of 2025
So my question is if I make a 2024 application then got accepted and asked for a defer would I be seen as international or national in terms of pay
Can someone please help
If any one want any elaboration just ask

How long has you been in the UK?

I am starting my 4th year

Ok thanks and does that mean that your fees status is determined at your first day of uni regardless of the time you apply

You have been in the UK for 4 years you are classified as a home student so you would pay the 9k fee for Uni

When you apply it will ask for your nationality and ethnicity and if you have passport if so which country

I have the Egyptian passport

Wait last question so even if I don’t take gap year I still pay home fees if you have the source for you information it will be much appreciated thanks

I don’t know I am confused because online it says you need to spend at least five years but you r telling me that they only need four r u sure of this because this information will pretty much influence my uni choices

Yeah but I don’t yet have the indefinite leave to remain that is why I was confused
Or do I just need to meet one of the two criteria

I think 31 of October to early September

As far as I know you are classified as a home student
