Whether you need a visa depends on your nationality, course length, and your reason for travel. The quickest and most reliable way to check is on the UK Government’s official visa checker.

We can provide the documents we’re allowed to provide (for example, a visa support letter where applicable), but we can’t advise on visa types or immigration decisions.

You can check if you need a visa on the British Government’s official page.

We can support your application by providing an official letter of acceptance for students applying for a Standard Visitor visa or a Short-term study visa (where applicable). You can include this letter in your visa application as evidence of your course booking.

Please note: we cannot provide immigration advice or apply for a visa on your behalf. Visa rules and required documents depend on your nationality and personal circumstances, so you should always check the latest guidance on the UK Government website.

To request your letter of acceptance, you’ll normally need to have completed your booking and payment (and provide your passport details).

You can start your English course any Monday throughout the year, so it’s easy to join at a time that suits you.

If you’d prefer to begin at the start of a new course book, we also offer four term start dates each year (these are ideal if you want to follow the syllabus from the very beginning).

Please note: Live Language is closed for two weeks over the Christmas holidays each year, so courses do not run during that period.

Payment options depend on the course you choose and your country of residence. In many cases, you can pay in full upfront to confirm your booking. For some students and courses, we may also be able to offer a deposit or payment plan, depending on your circumstances and the course start date.

The quickest way to confirm what’s available for you is to request a quote and tell us:

• your chosen course

• your start date (or preferred start month)

• your current country of residence

• 
  

Then we’ll confirm the payment options that apply to you.

• Access to Conversation Clubs to practise speaking and build confidence

• Free online English courses (where available) to support your progress outside class

• A range of social activities and student events to help you practise English in real-life situations and feel part of the community

• Ongoing support and guidance from our team during your studies

• 24/7 emergency contact and help if you need it
