Our role

Administrative automation

StudentRefundCheck structures your documents into a clear, organised package you submit yourself.

Who may qualify

You may be eligible if…

Eligibility is ultimately determined by UKVI, not by us. The points below reflect publicly reported information and are intended as general guidance only.

You held or applied for a UK student visa during the relevant period.

You paid student visa-related fees that may have been miscalculated.

You have access to your application reference or payment records.

You are willing to submit the request to UKVI yourself.

Meeting these points does not guarantee a refund. This is not legal or immigration advice.
