Staying Student Visa Compliant

Introduction

If you are not a UK national, you will likely need to apply for a Student Route visa before leaving your home country.

The type of visa required and the application process will depend on factors such as your course type, duration, and other eligibility criteria.

As part of your application, you must:

- Ensure you have sufficient funds
- Apply for your visa as soon as you get your CAS (if applicable)
- Pass any health checks required for entry into the UK
- Inform the university visa team of any visa updates/visa decision straight away 

For more details on the Points-Based System, the University's responsibilities as a sponsor, and a Glossary of terms, please refer to the relevant resources.

Once you are granted visa sponsorship, you will have a number of visa responsibilities to maintain. These include:

  • Providing all visa documents to the Student Visa Compliance and Advice team
  • Enrolling each year on eVision
  • Logging your attendance on your MyWLV app
  • Keeping your UK contact details up to date
