Immigration and visa-support statement

The boundary between Academic UK’s administrative support and regulated immigration advice.

Last updated: 30 July 2026

What Academic UK can do

  • Point students to official published information and application routes.
  • Help organise documents and administrative timelines.
  • Explain education-related requirements supplied by an institution.
  • Introduce a suitably regulated immigration adviser or legal professional where advice is needed.

What Academic UK does not do

Unless expressly confirmed in writing as part of a separately authorised service, Academic UK does not provide personalised immigration legal advice, assess immigration eligibility, recommend answers to legal questions, represent a person before immigration authorities or guarantee a visa outcome.

Regulated advice

Immigration advice should be obtained from an adviser regulated by the Immigration Advice Authority or another appropriately regulated legal professional. Any introduced adviser acts under their own engagement, responsibilities and fees.

Immigration rules and official requirements can change. Students should verify current requirements through GOV.UK and the relevant official authority.
