Student visa timeline planner

Enter the intake and the destination, and read back the latest date each step can start without eating into the fortnight a student needs to arrive and settle. The answer to "is it too late for this intake?" is a date, not a yes.

Our cautious default. Replace it with the current official figure.

What the dates rest on

The processing time is the one link nobody controls, and it changes by season and by post. The number in the box is our cautious planning default, not a published figure: check the current processing time for the destination and type it in.

Step durations are the ones Visatory uses to chase each step in a real case. They assume nothing goes wrong. Where a step is marked "where required", whether it applies depends on the student and changes between intakes; leave it in the plan until you know it does not.

Planning several intakes at once?

Visatory builds this chain for every student automatically, from the destination's own milestone track, and chases each step on its date.
