What to do if there are changes to your institution’s Student sponsor licence
October 08, 2026
Sometimes, UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI) can make changes to your institution’s licence to sponsor those on the Student immigration route. There can be confusion and uncertainty about what that means for your institution, and what it means for you. If your institution has experienced, or is experiencing, such changes you will likely have been made aware of this or have heard about it.
We have information for those affected by a change to their institution’s sponsor licence, on our webpage, Student sponsor compliance and licences. We provide guidance on changes to a sponsor’s licence that may impact you, as well as information about any action you may need to take.
We are also available to give advice on our Student advice line.
