Immigration and COVID-19

This session aims to address some of the questions we have been receiving from students about the pandemic and the impact on immigration status: including extensions to studies, remote working, travelling to the UK (or delaying travel) and police registration. 

 

Work During Studies

This session is aimed at international students on Tier 4 or Student Route immigration permission. We will explore the ‘working restriction’ and what that means – looking at what you can and can’t do regarding employment whilst you are in the UK on student immigration permission. 

 

The EU Settlement Scheme and immigration for EU nationals from 1 January

This session is for EU/EEA and Swiss national students. We will look at the EU Settlement Scheme which is open to those students resident in the UK before 31 December 2020 and also the Student Route which will be the required route for most EU nationals coming to the UK after 1 January 2021. 

 

Work After Studies

This session will look at your immigration options for remaining in the UK at the end of your studies and will look mainly at the Skilled Worker route and the new Graduate Worker Route
