The UKBA website explains UK immigration control, working regulations and your responsibilities as a student. The rules are not the same for everyone. Take care to read the correct rules for your circumstances. For example:
- The amount of money (maintenance) needed is not the same for everyone.
- There are different rules for Child students than for Adult students.
Do not apply until you have read all information relevant to you. This information changes and is updated regularly. It is your responsibility to prepare your visa application.
