  • You will find a complete checklist of documents you need to provide on the Home Office website. The documents needed can vary according to a student's personal circumstances and further documentation may be required – always check with a Student Immigration Adviser before you submit your application to the Home Office.
  • All documents must be scanned originals and any documents which are not in English must be accompanied by an official translation.
