Visas and immigration

Applicants from Afghanistan, Cameroon, Myanmar, and Sudan

The UK Government has introduced a temporary restriction - referred to as a visa brake - which prevents nationals of Afghanistan, Cameroon, Myanmar, and Sudan from obtaining a Student Visa from outside the UK. This measure was introduced in response to a significant rise in asylum claims from students arriving from these countries.
