Once a student’s visa application has been approved in the UK, they will typically receive the following:

1. Visa vignette (sticker) in their passport: This is a physical sticker that is placed in the passport, usually on one of the blank pages. The visa vignette contains important information such as the student’s name, passport details, visa type, validity dates, and any specific conditions or restrictions associated with the visa.
2. Biometric Residence Permit (BRP): In addition to the visa vignette, students may be required to collect a BRP if they applied for a visa longer than six months. The BRP is a separate identity card that contains the student’s biometric information (such as fingerprints and a facial image) and immigration status details. It serves as official proof of the student’s right to study and reside in the UK for the duration of their visa.
3. Approval letter/notification: Depending on the visa application process, students may receive an official letter or notification from the UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI) department confirming the approval of their visa application. This letter may contain important details about the visa, such as its validity period and any conditions or restrictions.

It’s essential for students to carefully review all documentation received upon visa approval and ensure they understand the terms and conditions associated with their visa. They should also keep these documents safe and accessible throughout their stay in the UK, as they may be required for various purposes, including travel, employment, and proof of immigration status.
