Getting in touch

Article

There's a number of ways to access the Immigration Advisory Service. We offer workshops, drop-in sessions, individual appointments, email advice and we also host a series of immigration web chats and webinars throughout the year.

Email us

You can contact us by emailing immigration (@gold.ac.uk). We usually reply on the same day (Monday to Friday). Try to include your name and student ID number when emailing us so that we can find your details.

Immigration drop-in sessions

If you are inside the UK and have a quick visa query, you can attend one of our drop-ins, you do not need to book and it's helpful if you can bring your current passport and visa to the session.

They take place every Wednesday afternoon, between 2pm and 3pm in Deptford Town Hall, just report to security upon arrival and ask for the Immigration Advisory Service.

There will not be any sessions when Goldsmiths is closed, so check the term dates if you are unsure.

The Immigration Advisory Service is based in room G16, Deptford Town Hall, so if you need to speak to us outside of the drop in times, and you are unable to email us, you are welcome to drop by between 9am and 5pm to speak to a member of the team. We may need to aks you to come back for an appointment or at a drop in session depending on how complicated your enquiry is.
