British Council is organising a seminar on “Student Visas” for the benefit of all students who have secured admission from UK institutions for the September/October 2008 intake.  The seminar will be useful for those who are in the process of applying for student visas and also for those who are planning to go to the UK in future for higher studies.

The Entry Clearance Officer from the British Deputy High Commission will brief the students on the latest student visa procedures including the Academic Technology Approval Scheme (ATAS), Biometrics, Student Visitor visa, Trusted Partners promoting UK education, useful documents to submit, information on work during and after studies, as well as clear any other doubts.  The briefing provides an excellent opportunity to interact with the visa officer and obtain clear guidance on the student visa process.

Students who have already obtained admission are encouraged to bring a copy of the admission letter to avail an attractive gift.  Entry to the seminar is free.
