What is a Travel letter?
A Travel Letter is a document you can use to support your application for a visa to travel overseas while you are a student. This confirms your enrolment status and is addressed to the embassy you are applying to for your visa.
To request a travel letter:
-
Visit the Travel letter request form. You will be prompted to sign in.
-
Complete the additional fields on the form.
-
Click Submit.
-
Student Services will then process your request and contact you if they have any clarification questions.

Important to know: New Home Office regulations require students travelling during term-time to have approval from their academic department. If necessary, Student Services will contact your department on your behalf once you have requested a travel letter and ensure that you receive a copy of their approval.
