If your application was to come to the UK for more than 6 months you will only be issued a 30-day visa in your passport as a leave to enter the UK. You must arrange to enter the UK within that 30 day period. Along with your visa and passport, you will also receive a written notification (or decision letter) informing you to collect a longer term visa from a designated Post Office branch once you have arrived in the UK. Your long term visa is called a biometric residence permit (BRP) and is in the form of a credit card sized card with a chip which will contain your biometric information. Application When making your Tier 4 application, you need to ensure that you have the following information:  Firm date for your intended date of travel to the UK (please ensure you are aware of the restrictions on how early you can enter the UK before the start date of your course). When an application is made for a visa which will be valid in the UK for more than 6 months you have to select where you will collect the Biometric Residence Permit (BRP) from. There are now two options for University of Reading students.  The first option is to choose a local Post Office as the collection point. For this you will need to give the address where you will be living, the nearest participating Post Offices will be displayed for you to select a collection point. There are 3 BRP collection Post Offices in Reading. If you select this option, you will be responsible for travelling to the selected Post Office and
