British Immigration and Visa Requirements for Students :-
The British Government welcomes people from overseas who wish to
study and train in the United Kingdom. This article explains: the UK Immigration
Rules for overseas students; when an entry clearance is needed; what is
an entry clearance; which nationals must have an entry clearance; how to
apply for an entry clearance. This is only a brief guide and does not cover
all the rules for immigration entry.
A United Kingdom entry clearance is a visa or an entry certificate which
you apply for before you travel to the United Kingdom. Even when you hold
an entry clearance you will still need to pass through immigration control
at the United Kingdom port of entry, eg Heathrow or Gatwick. But if you
are holding an entry clearance you will not be refused permission to entry
the United Kingdom unless there has been some change in your circumstances
or you gave false information or did not disclose important facts when you
obtained the entry clearance. Holders of entry clearances may also be refused
on medical grounds, if they have a criminal record, if they are subject
to a deportation order or if there are other exceptional reasons why they
should not be admitted.
