Students from the Cayman Islands who possess passports other than a British passport require a student visa to study in the UK – this includes students with BOTC/Cayman passports. The latest information from Her Majesty’s Government is that the current processing time for student visas, once applications have been submitted, is three weeks.
Students planning to pursue tertiary education in the UK for the 2022/2023 academic year are encouraged to begin the student visa application process as soon as possible. To apply for a student visa, visit: https://www.gov.uk/student-visa/apply. In order to apply, students must have their Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS) number issued by their university. Students are not permitted to travel to the UK to commence studies until they have received their student visa; applications should be made from the Cayman Islands.
