Visas and the right to study If your child is a citizen of a country outside the UK and Ireland and plans to study here for more than six months, they will need a Child Student Visa. This includes EEA students who arrived after 1 January 2021. We aim to make this as stress-free as possible. Abingdon School works closely with an immigration lawyer to manage the visa process from start to finish. Sponsorship: As a licensed sponsor, the school requires students on a Child Student Visa to remain full boarders throughout their time with us. Non-sponsored students: We will simply need to see evidence of the right to study (such as a parent’s visa or EU Settlement Status) before the first day of term. 4 The UK Home Office requires us to keep precise details of our international students' movements. Abingdon has its own online system for parents to log their child’s travel details, but Heads of House can always be contacted if there are any questions. Parents’ log-ins to the travel system are provided after a pupil joins the school and the first arrival details are reported through the Admissions department. For any student absence, will need: Confirmed flight details. The exact address and contact information for where they will be staying.
