Visas are now being processed online and BRP cards are no longer being issued. New students will be required to upload an eVisa share code as part of the registration process. This code will allow LJMU to access their immigration status on the Home Office website.

Students must complete this step before collecting their student ID cards.

Please note:
Since reviewing eVisas requires additional time, we advise students not to pick up their student ID cards until they have been notified that their registration is complete, and their ID card is ready for collection.
