If the Immigration
Officer is
satisfied, you may
be granted leave to
enter for up to 6
months as a
prospective student. |
Once you are
enrolled you will
then be able to
extend your stay as
a student. You
should be able to do
this without leaving
the country. It
is important that
you do not enter as
a visitor – see
below:
Changing Status.
If you are student
with a Visa you
should never try to
enter as a visitor
if you intend to
become a student.
Visa national
students cannot
change from visitor
to student status in
the UK.
At the port of
entry
On arrival in the UK
you will pass
through either a
checkpoint for
British and EU
passport holders or
one for other
passport holders. |
The Immigration
Officer will need to
be satisfied about
the points
previously
mentioned. Make sure
you have in your
hand luggage and all
the documentation
previously
mentioned.
If you are
refused entry
If you have no entry
clearance and the
Immigration Officer
refuses to allow you
to enter, you may be
removed immediately
or you may possibly
be given a very
short period of
temporary admission.
If this happens, you
should seek help
from:
The Immigration
Advisory Service at
http://www.iasuk.org
or Joint Council for
the welfare of
immigrants at
www.justask.org.uk
or Contact the
School, College or
University who will
be able to put you
in touch with
someone who can help
you. |
