When should I go to the UK—after my admission is finalized or before that?

You should travel to the UK only after your admission is finalized and your Student visa is approved.

The UK allows you to apply for a Student visa up to six months before your course starts, and decisions typically take about three weeks. Arriving without a valid visa can lead to being denied entry and could affect future visa applications.

Wait until your visa is granted before making any travel plans. If you need help with your timeline, contact your LeapScholar counsellor.
