Student visa compliance and advice update

09/05/2025

At the University, we are dedicated to providing international students with comprehensive guidance and support for all aspects of student visa compliance and advice throughout their studies.

We deeply admire the courage of our international students.  There are many challenges associated with starting university for any student, and for those who are doing so in a foreign country, with the potential for language barriers, differences in learning styles, not to mention acclimatising to the weather, new foods, and cultural differences... it can certainly become overwhelming at times!  

In addition to these challenges, international students need to adhere to strict visa requirements to maintain compliance throughout their studies. This can be daunting, however, the Student Visa Compliance and Advice team are here to guide and support them every step of the way. Our team offers assistance with both student visa compliance and visa advice.

Key requirements to remain Student Visa compliant include:

  • enrolling on eVision each year
  • attending all timetabled on campus classes
  • keeping UK contact details (UK address and mobile number) up to date on eVision
  • keeping in touch and informing the university of any changes

Contact information 

ASK@WLV is the primary point of contact for most enquiries. However, for visa-specific queries, students should contact the Student Visa Compliance and Advice team at:

The above video talks you through a few visa compliance tips to help you along your way.

Look out for more updates to further support international students with enrolment - coming soon.
