EU Settlement Scheme – If you or your family are from the EU, Switzerland, Norway, Iceland or Liechtenstein
If you’re an EEA or Swiss applicant already living in the UK, you’ll need to have applied for settled or pre-settled status by 30 June 2022.
Before you apply to work or study in the UK under the points-based immigration system, you should check if you’re eligible for the EU Settlement Scheme.
If you or your family member started living in the UK by 31 December 2020, you may be able to apply to the free EU Settlement Scheme. The deadline to apply was 30 June 2021 for most people. Check if you can still apply to the EU Settlement Scheme.
Other UK Visas
If you are an international student who has another UK visa that allows you to study in the UK for the duration of your programme, you may not need to apply for a Student Visa. Please contact the Visa Team (visa@nulondon.ac.uk) to discuss your immigration requirements further.
