ED visas and Student visas are two different things. You use both words here. Which one is it? ED visas are 3-month visas that, as far as I know, last only that long. Student visas are year-long visas that can be renewed as you say. I think you need an ED visa first to then get the year long Student visa, though I may be wrong. Please clarify this otherwise very well-written post.

Good article Mike. Informative and well written, it makes your feelings known while never giving vent to the frustrations that a trip to immigration inspires in even the best of us. Your two best tips are: make multiple copies and get there early.

One touch about the new immigration centre that I particularly enjoyed was the giant wall plaque in polished timer bearing a brass inscription of the chorus to “My Way” (to fight the impossible fight etc). Whoever put that there has either a truly perverse sense of humour, or a complete lack of irony.
