You would have to pay overseas fees. The International Student Office of the university would confirm that with you

Universities that I applied to for a part-time Phd were in the dark to say the least. Universities either give a Tier 4 visa or a home student status(UK and European citizens). Hence you should contact the institution first to confirm if they will let you be a part-time student when you are a full time resident of the UK and yet not a UK citizen.

You would be charged an international fee till you get the ILR.

Best wishes.
