Planning Your Arrival
Travel To The UK
You will receive a temporary visa (vignette) in your passport that lasts for 30 days and it will clearly state when it is due to expire. You must travel to the UK within this timeframe otherwise you will not be able to enter the UK.
When You Arrive
When you arrive in the UK, you will need to collect your Biometric Residence Permit (BRP) from the nominated Post Office, and details will be given in your decision letter. Please note, you are required to collect your BRP within 10 days of arriving in the UK. It’s important to collect it within this timeframe as it may be returned the UKVI and your ‘leave to remain’ curtailed. You will need to bring your BRP with you to enrolment. We’ve included some Guidance Notes provided by the Government which explains more about BRP, and what it can be used for.
Please remember to update your local address and phone number when you arrive. This information will be collected when you enrol, but you must inform admissions@aecc.ac.uk of any changes.
