Step 5: Student Visa Registration (New International Students Only)

After arriving in the UK, you will need to attend Visa Registration. This is where you present your passport and visa, and if applicable, collect your BRP.  All students require an appointment for Visa Registration, and an appointment is mandatory in order to limit the number of students in the registration venue and minimise waiting times.

If you a starting a new programme of study at the University of Glasgow after 1/1/2021, and you are not a national of the UK or Ireland, you will be required to complete visa registration.

Find out more about Student Visa Registration

Continuing International Students:

You do not need to re-register your visa details at the start of every academic year to complete registration, but if you have a Tier 4 visa you will need to attend a visa check-in after the beginning of Semester 1.
