Visa Information

SNT International College has a lot of experience in student immigration regulations. We can guide you through the process of enrolment and obtaining a visa and help you with our advice and expertise.

If you are from a visa national country (please check here http://www.ukvisas.gov.uk/en/doineedvisa/ ), you will need to apply for a student visa.

Visa application process takes time, so please check your local British Consulates for the time scales and procedures. We recommend to start your visa application process well in advance.

You can find information about the visas and application process on the UK Border Agency website: http://www.ukvisas.gov.uk
