In the event that repayments begin before you finish from your study, you must make sure you have enough money to cover not only the loan balance but also all other living and educational expenses.

Although planning a trip to the UK is exciting, there are a lot of things to think about!
You need to bring the following paperwork:

your passport and, if necessary, a valid visa (see Visas);
Travel itinerary and tickets.
an acceptance letter from a university, college, or educational institution;
Proof of your ability to pay for your tuition and living expenses may be requested in the form of recent bank statements (as well as a letter from your sponsor or verification of your scholarship, if applicable); original documents proving your technical or degree credentials, or certified authentic copies thereof;
Please bring a note from your doctor detailing the purpose of any prescribed medication you are carrying.

Extra details: Bring the address, phone number, and, ideally, the name of an employee with you when you travel to your new school, college, or university. In this manner, you can get assistance when you need it.
It’s likely that you’ll require travel and health insurance. There are numerous businesses that specialise in insurance for overseas students. If necessary, confirm that you are insured. Seek guidance from your college, institution, or school; they might provide a unique insurance plan for their students. See our Health article for details on immunisations and other health-related matters.

Check with your airline to see what you can carry with you. The airlines typically charge more for additional baggage.

There may be long lineups for security clearance and check-in, so give yourself plenty of time before boarding any more flights.


If you require assistance once in the UK, ask at an official tourist office or information desk. There should be one at every airport.

Remember to bring warm clothes. On the journey there or once you arrive, it can get cold! If it’s winter, bring a warm jumper and a heavy coat.


Airport security is strict when it comes to international travel. To make sure you’re prepared for a border check, go over the ten tips below and visit the gov.uk website to learn more about customs procedures.
Throughout your trip, you might require money for meals, customs charges, and public transportation. Bring travellers’ checks for around £200 to cover this. Additionally, UK international airports offer money exchange services as well as ATMs that accept debit or credit cards that are appropriate for cash withdrawals in British pounds sterling.
Arriving at the airport

Unless you are transferring to another aircraft at the same airport, proceed to the airport by following the signs marked “Arrivals.” Pay attention to the “Flight Connections” signs if you are changing flights.

You will be directed to passport control via “Arrivals.” You can follow the instructions on the electronic screens here. Passengers holding passports from the UK, the EEA (European Economic Area), or Switzerland, as well as all other passport holders, typically have distinct lines. After completing the immigration process (for further information on immigration and customs, visit the UKCISA website), you will pick up your luggage at the baggage reclaim area. To find your flight number, look at the screens above the baggage carousels.

You will finally go through Customs Control. When travelling from outside the European Economic Area (EEA) and having no goods to declare, there are typically three exits through Customs at UK airports: a green channel; a red channel; and a blue channel if you arrived from another EEA airport. To see what needs to be declared, click on the links below.


Checks related to immigration and customs at airports are handled by the Border Force, which is a division of the UK government’s Home Office. Here are Border Force’s best recommendations for a seamless travel:

Make sure your passport is ready.
If you are a non-resident of the European Economic Area, be sure you fill out a landing card. Landing cards are available in the immigration hall or occasionally on the aircraft.
Provide specifics about your academic program. Bring documentation of your Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS) number if you have one.
Stow in your hand luggage any medical records, current bank statements, and information on your accommodations. You might be required to provide this data.

Bring no meat or dairy products from countries outside of the EU. In addition, certain fruits, vegetables, and plants (such as tree bark, bulbs, seeds, and cut flowers) are prohibited, as well other food items including fish, eggs, and honey. Visit https://www.gov.uk/bringing-food-animals-plants-into-UK/food for additional information.
You are not allowed to carry as much alcohol, tobacco, or presents into the UK. Visit https://www.gov.uk/duty-free-goods to learn more.
Know how much you can spend duty-free. You may lose all of your belongings if you go over your allowance; in that case, you will need to report it and pay duty at customs (via the “red channel”).

Never bring in firearms, illicit substances, counterfeit items, or pornographic material. Certain things are banned and need for a licence or authorisation. Visit www.gov.uk/duty-free-goods/banned-and-restricted-goods for additional information.
Any monetary amounts of €10,000 or more (or their equivalent in another currency) that you bring with you when you travel from a non-EU country must be declared.
Never provide inaccurate or deceptive information, including documents that have been fabricated or counterfeit.
Transportation from the airport

The UK offers a first-rate transport infrastructure, with over 40 airports and a vast network of rail, boat and coach services.

When you arrive, your school, college, or university might make plans to pick you up from the airport. If not, try to arrive during the day when there are more public transport options. Purchasing tickets in advance might help you save money and time when travelling by rail and bus from the airport.

It is accurate to say that organising a new student’s housing when they first arrive in the UK is somewhat challenging. It is challenging for an international student to choose a residence that meets their needs in terms of pricing, location, and style. Additionally, you should think carefully about whether sharing housing with a stranger or someone you know is a good fit for you.

If, as a new student in the UK, you need short-term temporary housing, please send us a letter at least two weeks in advance, and we will get back to you as soon as possible. To rent the property, kindly follow these instructions from the Citizen Advice Bureau:

Overview

A letting agency can help you locate private landlord-owned apartments. While some leasing services will only assist you in finding housing, many handle properties on behalf of landlords, so you might not interact with your landlord directly.

This fact sheet gives you a rundown of the fees a rental agency may impose, as well as a list of enquiries you need to make prior to signing a tenancy agreement and registering with them.

Employing a leasing company

A voluntary self-regulating trade body will require the agency to have money protection mechanisms and a complaints procedure, thus it is better to utilise one of these organisations. This implies that you won’t lose your money in the event that the agency closes.

The principal trade associations are:

The Residential Letting Agents Association (ARLA)
The Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) and the National Association of Estate Agents (NAEA)
Find out if the agency adheres to the National Approved Letting Scheme (NALS), a set of guidelines, if it is not a part of a trade association. You can use the complaint method included in these standards. Members of The Property Ombudsman Scheme include both ARLA and NALS.

See Further Help for the above organisations’ contact information. Additionally, keep an eye out for agencies with the Safe Agent registered mark. This implies that a client money protection scheme will safeguard your funds. Visit the Safe Agent website at www.safeagents.co.uk for additional information.

A letting agency is not allowed to charge for:

should sign up with the organisation in order to receive a list of houses that are for rent.
a deposit that, should it be unable to locate you a suitable property, will be reimbursed to you.
The act of an agency making such charges is illegal. The Trading Standards Officer or Tenancy Relations Officer at your local council should be contacted if you have paid any of these fees. They can initiate legal action against the agency.

What you can be charged by a letting agency

an uncapped charge following the execution of an agreement to take a tenancy. The agency cannot charge you until the tenancy has been accepted by you.
costs for administration

You will be assessed an administration fee by several agencies. This charge could include any additional tenancy-related expenses as well as the price of creating the inventory, verifying references, and draughting the leasing agreement. If you decide to renew your tenancy agreement after it ends, many agencies may charge you.

Because not all agencies impose these fees and because the amounts could differ throughout agencies, it is advisable to shop around. Housing benefits will not cover these costs if you get them.

When you agree to take up a tenancy, the agency should provide you a clear explanation of their fees. Tariffs ought to be fair as well. You may be able to contest the charges on the grounds that they are unfair if you have paid excessively high fees or if the agency did not fully inform you of the charges beforehand. For additional guidance, get in touch with the trading standards officer of your local council or a specialist housing expert.

A holding deposit that is not refundable

If you accept to rent a property but haven’t signed the tenancy agreement yet, you will be charged this. When you move in, this amount is often taken out of your security deposit. Make sure you want to take up the tenancy because you won’t get your holding deposit back if you decide not to.

For reasons without of your control, such as the agency raising the rent or your reference not meeting standards, you might not be allowed to move into the property. It might be unjust of the agency to withhold your holding deposit in certain situations. If this occurs to you, you should consult a professional.

The Office of Fair Trading Guidance stipulates that you should be refunded for all pre-payments made if the landlord decides not to proceed with the tenancy after you have paid an administration fee and/or a holding deposit. Seek counsel if the government refuses to return your payments.

3 Guide to Advice (Advice that is Practical)

Deposit for security:

This is assessed as collateral to prevent harm to the property or falling behind on rent. If you haven’t broken any of your tenancy agreements, it should be given back to you at the conclusion of your lease.

On or after April 6, 2007, an agent collecting a security deposit from you for an assured shorthold tenancy is required to place it in one of the three government-approved schemes and furnish you with information about the plan.

The Tenancy Deposit Scheme, the Deposit Protection Scheme, and my deposits´ are the three schemes.

When you begin renting the home, you should discuss with the agent the state of the property and obtain an inventory, which is a list of the furnishings and fixtures. By doing this, disputes at the end of the tenancy should be avoided. Refer to the Tenancy Deposits in Housing fact sheets for additional details regarding security deposits.

a list of questions you ought to have before signing up with a rental agency. To prevent issues down the road, you should ask an agency the following questions before registering with them:

information about the services It offers comprehensive information on the fees it levies.
if it belongs to a trade association like the ARLA, NAEA, RICS, or NALS, since it needs to have a complaints process in place and safeguard your funds in the event that the agency closes.
whether the organisation is a part of The Property Ombudsman Scheme and whether it has a complaints mechanism.
