The UK Government has introduced an emergency brake on certain visa routes. As part of these changes, new Student visas for applicants from the following countries will be paused from 26 March 2026:
- Afghanistan
- Cameroon
- Myanmar
- Sudan
Because universities will not be permitted to sponsor new Student visas for nationals of these four countries during this period, we are unable to accept applications from affected students who require a Student visas at this time.
We understand this news may be disappointing, and we want to reassure you that our team is here to help.
