UK Student Visa & Sponsors

Updated daily from the GOV.UK register. Check whether your university is a licensed student sponsor, then work out your full visa cost before you apply.

Applying for a UK Student visa? Start with the two things that decide whether your application even gets off the ground: is your university licensed to sponsor you, and how much will the Home Office actually charge you. UK Student Visa & Sponsors puts both in one app. SEARCH THE SPONSOR REGISTER Every institution on the Home Office register of licensed student sponsors — universities, colleges, independent schools and private providers — searchable by name or by town. Filter by city, sort the list, and open any entry to see its licence status, institution type and route. The register is republished from GOV.UK every single day, so what you see is what the Home Office published, not a snapshot from last year. ESTIMATE YOUR REAL COSTS The fee calculator adds up what you will actually pay: • Student, Child Student or Short-term study visa • Application fee, inside or outside the UK • Immigration Health Surcharge, calculated across the full length of your course • Dependants, where your course still permits them • Priority and super priority processing Totals update as you change any option, and you can copy the full breakdown to paste into a spreadsheet or send to your family. READ THE GUIDE Nearly forty answers to the questions students actually ask, grouped into six chapters: visa basics, money and fees, documents and CAS, working and staying, life after your studies, and travel or nationality questions. Searchable, so you can find the rule you need in seconds. WHY STUDENTS USE IT • The licence check that agents charge for, free and instant • Maintenance fund figures for London and outside London • No account, no sign-up, no email address required • Clean, fast and readable on any phone WHO IT IS FOR International students planning to study in the United Kingdom, their parents, and the counsellors and advisers who help them. Useful whether you are choosing between offers, checking a college you found online, or budgeting the whole application before you commit. IMPORTANT This is an independent app. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by or operated by the Home Office, UK Visas and Immigration, or any part of the UK government. It mirrors information published on GOV.UK and summarises published guidance. It is not legal or immigration advice. A sponsor licence can be suspended or revoked between our daily updates, and Home Office fees change regularly. Always confirm the current position on GOV.UK, with your institution, or with a regulated immigration adviser before you pay anything or submit an application.
