How to complete international check-in

Attending international check-in

If you are a current student and you requested an Authorised Interruption of Study, this may have impacted your Tier 4 / Student visa and you may have to complete a re-engagement international check-in before resuming your studies.

You will need to upload a copy of your passport and attend an in-person appointment for International Check-in after you enter the UK.

All students coming to the UK with Standard Visitor visa permission must complete the required International Check-in.

If you are making an application for a Student visa in the UK, you will need to attend two in-person appointments for International Check-in.

If you are coming to the UK for a Pre-sessional English language programme, you will need to attend your first International Check-in appointment after you arrive in June. The process is different depending on whether you received a single or a combined CAS.

If you hold EU pre-settled or settled status, you will still need to complete International Check-in, but you don’t need to attend an appointment. 

Find out the process for International Check-in if you have another type of immigration permission, for example BN(O), Ukraine Scheme, an asylum claim, refugee status or Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR).
