Document Checking

All international fee paying students and those with Dual Nationality (where one or both nationalities are outside of the UK) must present their passport and visa to the International team. You can do this at the International Induction on Friday 9th January OR at the International Drop-In.

Students who fail to show their immigration documents by 30th January will have their IT access restricted. If you are unable to present documents to the International Office in time, please email the reason and date you expect to meet the requirement to request an extension to International@qmu.ac.uk.

The International team need to check and hold copies of passports and immigration documents for all International Fee status students, and those with a domicile, country of birth or dual nationality outside of the UK.


For students with a non-UK passport they also need to check and hold copies of your immigration status, via share code created from your eVisa account, and your entry date to the UK (shown either by a stamp in your passport or a boarding pass). Please also provide a copy of your decision letter, emailed to you by the 51׻ Office. 

Students with dual nationality, where one or both nationalities are outside of the UK, mustshow the data page of their passport, and if relevant, the visa/immigration documents showing permission to studying in the UK.

Upon receipt of your documents we will allow you to collect your student card, or post it to your term time address upon receipt from the printers.
