Ensure you complete all university application steps on time to be eligible for a refund for Vivo accommodation if your university application is declined due to missing deadlines or required documentation.

If the AST start date with Vivo has begun, cancelling and receiving a full refund is not possible. Stay vigilant about key dates to act promptly if cancellation is needed.

The "No Visa, No Pay" policy in the UK offers a refund for international students if their visa application is rejected by UKVI. Students must inform authorities before August 1, 2024, to be eligible for a full fee refund, easing the financial impact of a visa denial not due to their negligence.
