What you can do in the UK

You can:

  • live in the UK
  • work - up to 20 hours a week during term time and full-time during the holidays. You must share proof of your term dates with your employer
  • work on a placement which is part of the course your student visa is based on
  • the work placement must be a compulsory part of your course and assessed as part of your course. Any work is also subject to the restrictions below
  • study - with your licensed sponsor, subject to Academic Technology Approval Scheme (ATAS) conditions
  • rent somewhere to live
  • use the National Health Service (NHS) in a similar way to permanent UK residents
  • access a current account with a bank or building society in the UK
  • travel in and out of the country if you can provide a valid passport or travel document - you may not be able to enter the UK without one

When you can start a permanent full-time job

If you apply for a Skilled Worker visa, you can start work in a permanent full-time job up to 3 months before your course completion date.

If you apply for a Graduate visa, you can start work in a permanent full-time job once you have successfully completed your course of study.

All of the following must also apply:

  • you are studying full-time at degree level or above with a higher education provider that has a track record of compliance as a student sponsor
  • you made a valid Skilled Worker or Graduate visa application when you had permission as a student
  • you are waiting for a decision on your Skilled Worker or Graduate visa application, or the outcome of any administrative review against a refusal

What you cannot do

You cannot:

  • access public funds
  • work as a professional sportsperson or sports coach
  • work as an entertainer
  • work in a position which would fill a permanent full-time vacancy unless you applied for a Skilled Worker or Graduate visa
  • run a business or be self-employed - unless you have applied for a start-up visa
  • study at a state school or academy

Continuous absence

If you stay outside the UK without returning for more than 2 years, your permission will normally lapse if it has not yet expired. You will have to apply for a new visa to enter the UK.

Legal basis of status

You have been granted permission to enter or stay in the UK, (also known as Leave to enter or remain) until 30 October 2027.

National Insurance number

You will need to obtain a National Insurance number if you plan to work in the UK. If you have one already, it will show at the top of your immigration status profile. If you do not have a National Insurance number, you must apply for one. You can start work while you are waiting for a National Insurance number if you can prove your right to work to your employer. If it has been more than 8 weeks since you applied for a National Insurance number, call the application helpline.

Keep your details up to date

You must keep your personal details up to date in your UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI) account.

You can check and update the details in your UKVI account including your:

  • photo, for example if your appearance has changed and you cannot be recognised from your current photo
  • phone number
  • email address
  • home address
  • passport or other identity documents, including change of name or nationality

If there is an error on your eVisa

If any of the information is wrong, you can report an error with your eVisa.

Before you travel

Use the update your UKVI account details service to add a passport or identity document to your account.

Nationality information
