ETA Scheme
Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) Scheme - UK Visa and Immigration (UKVI)
UKVI is shortly extending the UK's Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) Scheme. New travel rules coming into force in the UK from early next year mean
many international visitors will no longer obtain automatic entry as a visitor at the UK border.
Loughborough College is a government-approved Student Sponsor, allowing us to offer courses to international students aged 16 years and over. Most international
students will need to apply for a visa before coming to the UK and we can help you with this process.
