Visa correction scheme

Occasionally students are granted visas that fall short of the recommended length for the course that they have been accepted on to. Similarly, some students are mistakenly given a prohibition on working when they should be granted permission to work part-time with certain restrictions. UKVisas has an Entry Clearance Correction scheme to try to correct such errors made by overseas Entry Clearance Officers.

Please note that if you presented the Entry Clearance Officer an offer letter for a course and you then changed to a different course after the visa was issued, you cannot use the scheme to correct your visa. If you have failed part of the course and need to extend your visa, you cannot use the scheme to correct your visa

The guidance which Entry Clearance Officers are supposed to follow when issuing student entry clearances is as follows:

POSTGRADUATE STUDENTS -
Postgraduate courses do not always finish at the end of the normal academic year, therefore postgraduate students should be granted 4 months beyond the end of the course irrespective of when it finishes.

NON-POSTGRADUATE STUDENTS ON COURSES FOR ONE ACADEMIC YEAR OR MORE THAT DO NOT FOLLOW THE STANDARD AUTUMN TO SUMMER PATTERN should be given the length of their course plus 4 months.

DEPENDANTS OF STUDENTS should be granted the same period as the student.

If you think that you may qualify for the scheme, please contact Student Services.
