Extending a UK visa in your country

Current students that are returning home during vacation periods can apply for a new visa if their current visa is due to expire. This is not known as an extension application. It is in effect a new Student visa application, therefore students should follow the advice for new applicants.

Please remember that you will need to have a Confirmation of Acceptance for Study issued before you can make a visa application. Please contact the International Student Adviser at advint@st-andrews.ac.uk.
