Your Student Visa

The Home Office has moved to a fully digital immigration status system. If you are granted a Student visa, you will receive an eVisa instead of a physical visa document. Your eVisa allows you to view and prove your immigration status online. If you are applying for a Student visa from outside the UK, please refer to our eVisa webpage for further information.
