Where can I travel on a visa to study in the UK?

1. In the UK: no additional application procedure is required.

If you have a visa to study in the UK, you can definitely travel to the UK. The whole UK includes: England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.

Second, go to Ireland: you need to apply for an Irish visa.

Many people will confuse Northern Ireland with Ireland. Due to historical reasons, Northern Ireland is now a part of British territory, and Ireland is an independent country. Therefore, if you want to travel to Ireland, you still need to apply for an Irish visa.

Although Britain and Ireland have introduced the mutual visa policy, they need to hold specific types of short-term stay visas and visiting visas to visit Britain and Ireland at the same time with a single visa. The UK study visa is not a short-term visa type, so this policy does not apply to holders of UK study visas.

Third, go to other European countries: you need to apply for a visa.

Let's talk about the Schengen countries. Many people studying in Britain are willing to take this opportunity to visit other European countries. However, many people have a wrong understanding that European countries and Schengen countries are the same concept.

In fact, their scope is completely different. At present, there are 26 Schengen countries: Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Iceland, Italy, Greece, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Hungary, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Slovenia, Poland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Malta, Switzerland and Liechtenstein.

According to the Schengen Convention, the above-mentioned 26 Schengen countries can issue Schengen visas to foreigners for short-term visits. As long as the applicant obtains a Schengen visa from one of the countries, he can visit other Schengen countries without applying for another visa. Since the UK is not a Schengen country, those who hold a study visa in the UK need to apply for a Schengen visa in the UK if they want to go to the above-mentioned Schengen countries. ?

If you want to go to other non-Schengen countries in Europe, you need to know the corresponding visa policy in advance.

The above information is for your reference.
