The Student Immigration Service provides specialist advice on UK visas and immigration for applicants and current students. Our trained advisers can support you with questions about the Student visa route, immigration conditions, and related processes during your time at the University of Bath.
Advice for applicants
If you are an offer holder or prospective student, you can book an online visa advice appointment. These sessions are suitable if you are preparing a Student visa application or have questions about eligibility, documents, CAS information or next steps.
Online advice appointments for applicants
We offer a bookable appointment service every weekday, Monday to Friday between 10:00-16:00 (UK time) subject to availability. Appointments are 10 minutes long and are held online via Microsoft Teams. You can book your slot through our Microsoft Bookings page.
What to expect from an advice appointment for applicants
During your appointment, an adviser will work with you to help you move forward with your visa application. This could include:
- talking through the steps you need to take for your Student visa application
- helping you understand which documents you need and how to prepare them
- giving guidance on financial evidence requirements
- clarifying how the CAS process works and what your next steps are
- sharing useful resources or directing you to relevant guidance
Advice for current students
We offer both in person and virtual advice appointments for current students throughout the week. Our advisers are available Monday to Friday, during scheduled times, to help you with questions about your Student visa conditions, eVisa, changes to your study, or next steps for routes such as the Graduate Route.
Online advice appointments for current students
You can book an online advice appointment on Tuesdays and Thursdays between 10:15–12:15. Online appointments are held via Microsoft Teams and each appointment lasts 10 minutes. You can book your slot directly through UniHub.
Please read our instructions on how to book an appointment if you are having difficulty booking your appointment through UniHub.
At the start of your online appointment time, a Student Immigration Adviser will contact you via Microsoft Teams. Please make sure you are logged into Teams and ready for your call. If you miss the call, we will try again within the first five minutes; otherwise, you will need to book another session.
If your query requires further input, we may arrange a follow-up or provide additional guidance by email.
In-person drop-in sessions for current students
If you prefer to speak to an adviser in person, our in-person drop-in sessions run on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. Each slot lasts 10 minutes and sessions take place in Wessex House 8.15.
