Following the Brexit and the end of EU free movement, international students including EEA, EU and Swiss nationals will need a visa to come to the UK. Students can check if they need a visa on the government visa and immigration website. We will support you with the visa application and provide all the documentation you need.
When we have received your booking and the deposit, we will send you via email a Confirmation Letter of Acceptance along with Invoice and a Visa Support Letter. Please make sure you include your passport number on the booking form as this is compulsory for the visa letter. Please check that these documents are all correct and confirm via email. We will then send you originals of all the documents by post, if necessary. If you require a courier service we will charge an additional fee of £40 to cover the cost.
Standard Visitor Visa
It’s suitable for taking a short course of study that lasts no longer than 6 months. Attending our summer courses you will need to apply for a Standard Visitor Visa. You can apply for a visa up to 3 months before your date of travel to the UK, and you should get a decision on your visa within 3 weeks. You can usually stay in the UK for up to 6 months. A Standard Visitor Visa costs £100. For detailed information about this visa please visit the UK Border Agency page: https://www.gov.uk/standard-visitor-visa
Please note, it is important to allow sufficient time to obtain a visa. We strongly recommend student to book the course as soon as possible, and apply for a visa at least 2 months prior to the start date of the course.
According to the update from UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI) in February 2023, under current processing times, visitor visa applications from outside the UK are currently taking on average 6 weeks to process instead of the usual three. Parents are advised to apply early for your child.
