Depending on your nationality your visas can either take the form of a stamp or a vignette (sticker). For more information please consult the Student Advice and Engagement web pages. 

If you are an eGate national and you have used an eGate to scan your passport at the UK border, you will not have a stamp or a vignette in your passport.

Your BRP will show the LSE sponsor licence number and should be valid for the full length of your programme. EU/EEA/Swiss students are unlikely to have a BRP as they will have been granted a digital status. The only exception is if you were unable to use the UK Immigration ID Check app to apply for your visa.

Please note all BRPs will expire on the 31st December 2024 and you must rcreate an eVisa account to obtain a digital status. You can create this account through the following link:

If you do not create an e-Visa account you will not have evidence of a valid visa after the 31st December 2024.

You must attempt to collect your BRP before coming to campus enrol. However, if the post office do not have your BRP then we can temporarily enrol you without it. You will then need to enrol again once your BRP arrives.  

If you have just completed a previous programme at LSE, you can enrol temporarily for your new programme using the visa you hold for your previous programme, but you must apply to extend your stay in the UK within 6 weeks of campus enrolling for your new programme or before the end date of your current visa, whichever is sooner, and bring us evidence of your new application.
