Our office is closed in light of the latest COVID-19 government guidance. If you need assistance with your visa, you should in the first instance email studentimmigration@ed.ac.uk, and if appropriate, we will be able to set up a remote appointment at a suitable date and time.
When you get to the UK, where you collect your BRP from will depend on what you put in your application. It may be:
- Old College;
- Waverley Bridge Post Office or;
- It may be posted to your UK address (if you have made your application from the UK)
The location of your collection will be clearly visible on your Decision Letter from the Home Office. This is a letter which would have been returned to you in the envelope with your passport from the visa processing centre.
Currently you do not need to get your BRP within 10 days of arriving; the rules about this have been relaxed due to Covid-19 to allow for any period of self isolation.
