If you’re planning to travel to the UK to study, you may need to apply for a visa before you travel.

Potential changes to 2023 immigration regulations

On 23 May 2023, the Home Office issued a statement that included information about potential changes to immigration regulations. Several points would impact Student Visa holders if implemented.

Please note that these are currently proposed changes only. They have not been written into law at this time and the rules remain as outlined in our guidance pages. We do not currently have any further information about the proposed changes. We will update our pages to reflect any confirmed changes as soon as this becomes possible.

The full Home Office statement can be read on the UK Parliament website and an explanation of how this may affect you can be found on the UKCISA website.

If you need help determining your fee status as an international student, you can refer to the regulations governing fee classification.
