Immigration, Visas and Support
Making sure you take time to sort out your student visa is incredibly important whether you are applying from outside the UK to begin a course at Cambridge, or whether you are applying in Cambridge for an extension. The Points Based Immigration Office will give you information on applying for a visa, extending a visa and answer all your immigration related questions as well as send you the relevant documents from Cambridge University.
You will also find information on visas and support for questions you may have via the Cambridge University International Office.
