Arriving in good time
You will need plenty of time to recover from your journey and settle into your new home before your course starts.
For this reason, we recommend that you arrive in the UK at least two days before the beginning of your course. This means you will arrive over the weekend before the Monday on which your course starts.
Immigration control
To clear immigration smoothly, when you arrive at immigration control at the airport, you should have the following documents with you:
- Passport
- Visa (if required)
- Travel documents
- Enrolment and accommodation documents from Kings College
- Letter of Consent to Travel (if you are under 16)
The immigration officers at the airport will expect you to tell them where you are going in England, what course you are studying and how long you will be at Kings.
You will also need to give them details about your address in England.
Your visa may be stamped with the words "Register with UK police on arrival" by immigration officers. If so, you must arrange this when you get to the college. We will help you with this when you arrive at Kings.
