Schengen Visa Letter

A Schengen Visa Letter is a document we can provide to support your visa application if you’re studying in the UK on a student visa and want to travel to Europe while you’re here.

Requesting a letter

To request a Schengen Visa Letter, please complete the online request form. You are eligible for this letter if you are a current, fully enrolled student at Royal Holloway and this includes if you have currently interrupted your studies or you are on a year abroad or year in industry. 

Once you've finished your studies

Once you have reached the expected end date of your course, you are no longer eligible for a Schengen Visa Letter.
