You hold a Student visa with a visa vignette pasted in your passport
Once you have arrived in the UK, please upload the following documents:
- Your current passport or National Identity card (please see section below regarding when an ID card may be used to enter the UK after the 1st October 2021)
- Your stamped visa vignette issued for studies at the University of Plymouth. We only need this if you are a new student OR you have a new visa
- If your vignette was not stamped as you entered the UK through an e-gate, you must also provide a copy of your flight ticket OR boarding pass clearly showing the date you entered the UK
- Your BRP card if you have it, front and back of the card.
If you are a new student and due to collect your BRP from the Post Office in Plymouth, please only do this after completing any period of quarantine required by the UK Government when entering the UK. You will not be penalised for collecting your BRP after you have completed the required quarantine period.
If your visa decision letter states you should collect your BRP from the University, please note your BRP won’t be available from the campus and will be sent to you in a different way. Please contact the UKVI Compliance team if your visa decision letter states this.
Please note that you cannot complete the right to study check until you have arrived in the UK, as your student permission will not have been activated. Please do not plan to enter the UK prior to the start date of your Student visa (whether issued as a visa vignette or digitally) as then you will not have activated your Student permission and you will need to leave the UK again in order to do this.
