About us
The Immigration Advice Service offers free immigration advice to students and staff of Bath Spa University.  We only provide advice on UK visas specifically for study and work at Bath Spa.
This means we primarily specialise in Student and Skilled Worker visas (including dependant applications).  We also offer some limited support for Standard Visitor visas for work/study, and Graduate applications.  For any other visa type, or for visa advice for any other country, you will need to seek advice
from elsewhere
.
We are members of the UK Council for International Student Affairs (
UKCISA
) and Association of International Student Advisers (
AISA
); we operate in accordance with their Code of Ethics.
Higher Education institutions are authorised under a Ministerial Order (Part V of the Immigration and Asylum Act, 1999) to provide immigration advice and services and should adhere to the
IAA Code of Standards.
