On student visa, recently diagnosed with skin cancer that

I wanted to follow up on the clarifying questions I had sent earlier, as I haven’t yet received your response. In the meantime, I will proceed with providing my answer based on the information available. Should you have any additional questions or need further clarification, please don't hesitate to reach out through this chat at your convenience.

1. If you are currently in Wales on a UK Student visa (previously Tier 4) and have been diagnosed with a serious medical condition like skin cancer requiring chemotherapy, your visa will not automatically be revoked because of your illness or the need to study from home during your treatment.
2. UK immigration rules allow for some flexibility in cases involving serious health issues. The key requirement is that you remain enrolled with your sponsoring institution and maintain communication with them about your circumstances. Since you can still engage with your studies remotely, and your institution supports this, you will likely continue to meet the visa conditions, provided they continue to sponsor you and report that you are actively studying.
3. Your university or college (as your sponsor) is required to notify UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI) of significant changes in your circumstances, such as long absences or changes in mode of study. However, where absences or remote study are due to serious medical conditions and are supported by appropriate medical evidence, sponsors are permitted to maintain sponsorship. A medical letter from your treating hospital explaining your diagnosis, the treatment schedule, and your ability to study from home will be essential. Once your school reopens, you should notify your academic department and the international student office immediately, providing this medical documentation.
4. You do not need to contact UKVI directly unless advised by your sponsor. The responsibility for reporting and justifying your circumstances rests primarily with your sponsor, not with you.
5. As long as your sponsor confirms your continued engagement with your course and supports your need to study remotely on medical grounds, and you are not breaching other visa conditions (such as work limits or overstaying), your visa should remain valid.
