Immigration compliance and advice drop-in service

The Immigration Compliance and Advice Service run a monthly drop-in service on Newton Park.  We also visit Locksbrook and BSU London once every trimester.

Please see below for our upcoming drop-in dates, times and locations. If you haven’t used our service before, please refer to the information below on what we can and cannot help with before attending. 

This drop-in service is only available to students and staff of Bath Spa University, so you may be asked to provide evidence of your status (such as your ID card) before any information or advice is provided. We also run an online drop-in service if you're unable to attend an in-person session.

There are strict legal rules around who can provide immigration advice in the UK, and the advisors at Bath Spa can only provide advice on a limited range of issues, mainly restricted to Student visa requirements and conditions.

About us

The Immigration Advice Service offers free immigration advice to students and staff of Bath Spa University.  We only provide advice on UK visas specifically for study and work at Bath Spa.  

This means we primarily specialise in Student and Skilled Worker visas (including dependant applications).  We also offer some limited support for Standard Visitor visas for work/study, and Graduate applications.  For any other visa type, or for visa advice for any other country, you will need to seek advice from elsewhere.

We are members of the UK Council for International Student Affairs (UKCISA) and Association of International Student Advisers (AISA); we operate in accordance with their Code of Ethics.

Higher Education institutions are authorised under a Ministerial Order (Part V of the Immigration and Asylum Act, 1999) to provide immigration advice and services and should adhere to the IAA Code of Standards.
