If you moved after 1 January 2021

If you started living in Scotland from 1 January 2021, you must apply for a visa to live, work and study here.

You must do this through the UK Government's points-based immigration system.

Applying for a visa

The visa type you need will depend on the reason you’re in Scotland.

How long your application will take depends on the type of visa you need.

You can apply to extend your visa if it is ending or you want to stay in Scotland.
