Opening hours
- Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays: 10:00am to 12.30pm, 1:30pm to 4:30pm
The last student will be seen 15 minutes before lunch/closing time.
On Wednesday afternoons we host a specialist 'Wednesday Work’ visa drop in. We suggest that students with post-study work visa questions come at this time if possible.
Email and live chat
Live chat is open Monday to Friday, 10am to 12pm and 2pm to 4pm.
Using live chat is the quickest way for your query to be dealt with.
We aim to respond to you within five working days.
Do not send your query more than once, and don't follow up on live chat without giving us an opportunity to respond to your query within five working days. Doing this will cause delays for us to respond to your query.
Book an online appointment with an immigration adviser
Online appointments are for more complex cases, or if you wish to speak to an adviser face-to-face but you want a more confidential environment than our drop-in service can offer.
