In order to support the immigration status declared on the application the student or their family member (whichever is applicable) must provide both of the following:
- their Visa
- the Home Office letter which includes the student's name (as well as their family member, if applicable) - this is absolutely essential as the letter will state on what grounds the leave to remain in the UK has been granted.
The evidence provided must have been valid on or before the first day of the first academic year.
