Read the Call for Applications

Under current regulations, Italian citizens staying in the United Kingdom for less than six months do not need a visa but must apply for an Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) to enter the country. Further instructions will be provided once you have been admitted to your courses at King's College London.

Students who do not hold Italian citizenship must check whether they are eligible to apply for an ETA and verify the entry requirements for the United Kingdom, as they may need to apply for a visa.

You must hold a valid passport. If you do not have one, you should apply for it as soon as possible.
