UK visa requirements

Students from Sri Lanka coming to study in the UK must obtain prior entry clearance and therefore need to apply for a visa. For further information, please contact the local British High Commission to begin the application process:

  • UK Visa Application Centre

    (Duplication Road)
    Colombo 3
    Tel: 4513 355 or 4516 322 (8.00am–5.00pm, Monday–Friday)

You will need to show details of your acceptance onto a course, your offer letter and evidence of sufficient funding to support your education and living expenses while you are in the UK.
