| Q6 : |
What are the things we should keep in mind while travelling to London? |
| |
| Make sure that your passport is valid and that you have a visa if you need one - check with your local British Embassy if you are not sure. Some nationalities can get a visa as they enter the UK. To get a student visa, you need proof that you are studying on a full-time course (15 hours per week) and that you have paid your fees or a deposit - take your letter from United International College. Show that you have enough money to pay for your living expenses in London, so that you do not need to work | |
