On Wednesday 8 January 2025, the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) released new applicant guidance for the Academic Technology Approval System (ATAS) process.

As we close out 2024, it’s a useful time to reflect on the opportunities and challenges our members and international students have faced. I also want to thank my team and all of our members for their tireless efforts to support international students in the UK, in a year full of change and complexity.

Following the 2024 roll-out of digital immigration permission (eVisas) to Students and other groups of visa holders, we plan to hold a members’ online symposium on eVisas on Friday 31 January 2025 (10am-12pm).

If you are travelling out of the UK over the upcoming Christmas and New Year holiday period, make sure you have done everything possible to set up your UKVI account and gain access to your eVisa.

After a competitive selection and interview process, UKCISA is pleased to announce the appointment of eight new international students who will be joining our #WeAreInternational Student Ambassador Programme.
