If you have a query regarding a Skilled Worker (Tier 2) or a Temporary Worker (Tier 5) visa sponsored by the University of Warwick, please contact Human Resources.

How to get in touch with us for advice if you are a Student:

• Our website contains lots of information, and the answer to the vast majority of queries we receive.
• Most students contact us via our Online contact form - we triage enquiries daily when the University is open, and are able to respond to most queries within 3-5 working days.
• Attend one of our popular live Q&A sessions on Returning for Resits or PhD Visa Extensions
• Book an appointment to see an Adviser if you require face-to-face support with something else, or if you have attended a Q&A and have a specific problem not covered. When booking an appointment, if it is the first time you are using MyAdvantage, you will need to sign up and answer some career preference questions.
• For urgent or emergency advice, you can attend the Student Opportunity Hub, Senate House between 11:45-12:15 or between 15:00-15:30 Mon, Tues, Thurs or Fri* (there is no drop-in service on Wednesdays or when the University is closed). An adviser will see you briefly to assess your situation and resolve your query if we can, or direct you to a more appropriate service if we are not. If your enquiry is related to a notification you have received from the University, please help us to help you by thoroughly reviewing the content and links included in any emails you have received before attending.
  *Please note that, out of fairness to other students who need our help, ad-hoc immigration advice is not available at this location outside of the above times
• Please be aware that the Student Immigration Team does not offer a telephone advice service except where you have booked a remote appointment delivered via Microsoft Teams. Please use our contact form to explain your situation instead, or attend a drop-in session as above
• Out of hours contact: Community Safety Team (24-hour control centre): +44 24 7652 2083 - Internal: 22083 (this is also our emergency out of hours contact if you require immediate assistance, for example, if you are a UK Border Force official, or, if you are a student detained at a UK Border and are at immediate risk of being deported - no other requests for advice will be entertained via this number)

For staff members:

Staff members may wish to refer to the contact details on our staff intranet (staff login required).

External legal advice:

If you need urgent immigration advice outside of the times we are available, you may wish to contact:

Location of pre-booked face-to-face student appointments:

The location of your appointment will be shown on your MyAdvantage appointment booking confirmation and dashboard.

Submissions via our contact form will not be monitored, and drop-in sessions will not be available, on Statutory or University Customary closure days.

During the above times, if you require immigration advice, you must seek this from an external organisation.
