Once you arrive in the UK, you will need to provide evidence of your immigration permission before you commence your studies. The type of evidence and the process for sharing will depend on what type of permission you hold. How to complete International Check-in Once these checks are finished, you have completed this step. You will not be fully matriculated if you do not complete international check-in. For more information, visit the contact us page on the Student Immigration Service website: Contact us | The University of Edinburgh |
