Digital Immigration Status / E-Visa
All international students will now be granted a digital immigration status or an e-visa. When you successfully apply for a UK Student Route visa you will receive a decision letter which confirms the visa granted to you and details of how to access your digital status/e-visa.
Do not travel to the UK prior to the start of your UK Student Route visa valid from date. Any student who enters the UK prior to the start of their UK Student visa will need to depart the UK and return again after the visa start date.
The University requires those who hold a digital status/e-visa to provide a sharecode and evidence of their date of entry to the UK (boarding card/flight ticket) to register for their programme.
Visit our E-visa pages here to find out more about how to register for an e-visa and prove your status
Errors on your digital status / e-visa
If, after receiving your visa and checking your digital status / e-visa online, you believe there is an error (for example, you have not been issued a visa to 4 months after your course end date or the work conditions are wrong) you must take action immediately to correct the error. You can report errors with an e-visa online here. If you have any questions about reporting an error with your e-visa please contact IAG.
Providing your documents to the University
The University requires those who hold a digital status/e-visa to provide a sharecode and evidence of their date of entry to the UK (boarding card/flight ticket) to register for their programme. You will receive an email from the University asking you to provide us with a share code in advance of travelling to the UK, if possible.
In addition to this, all new international students will need to attend International Registration to show their immigration documents to the University (including digital status/share code) and have these checked and scanned to their student record. This is a mandatory part of registration at the University. Many students will be issued with their University ID card as well. Details of how to book a time slot during welcome week and beyond will be sent to you by email.
Current international students who obtain a new passport or e-visa for any reason should upload their new documentation here.
