Original title: How will the UK’s “Brexit” transition period with student visas end?
On January 31, 2020, the United Kingdom officially withdrew from the European Union. Under the regulations, the UK has a transition period of 11 months. For the past year, the British Immigration Service has been adjusting and updating the immigration policy bill. In the recently revised Immigration Policy Act, policies have been adjusted for various categories of visas, such as work visas, visit visas, and student visas.
The Immigration Office has reviewed the relevant conditions for applying for a student visa, which mainly include the following parts:
□ Certificate of Deposit Update for International Students Studying in the UK
The amount of the vital deposit certificate for international students studying in the UK should not be less than the sum of the tuition fees plus 9 months of estimated living expenses. It is usually divided according to the area where the school is located. The British Immigration Service has set the standard of monthly living expenses for different areas.
London Area: £ 1,265 / month
Area outside London: £ 1015 / month
At the same time, according to the latest immigration policy bill, the level of living expenses required to apply for a UK student visa will increase.
London area: £ 1,334 / month
Area outside London: £ 1,023 / month
It is worth noting that these applicant-provided bank certification letters no longer need to be processed at the bank counter, and the electronic version can be used.
□ Changes in the validity period of the parental study visa
For holders of student visas for children, the accompanying student visa will be signed every 12 months with the same period of validity as the student visa for children.
□ PhD graduates can live and work in the UK for 3 years
Starting in the summer of 2021, international students who have earned a PhD from a British university will extend their stay and work in the UK for 2 to 3 years after graduation. International students with undergraduate and graduate degrees will have 2 years of living and working in the UK after graduation.
□ Checking student visas no longer requires exit
Except for visitor visas, short-term student visas and study visas for parents, everyone else can apply for student visas in the UK without leaving the country.
□ The tourist visitor visa can participate in short courses
Under the new immigration law, visit visa holders can receive training in the UK and participate in short courses of no more than 6 months. Previously, the Immigration Office only allowed immigrants with ordinary visitor visas to participate in training courses that did not exceed 30 days. If you take a short-term course of more than 30 days, you must apply for a short-term student visa before you can enter the country. Furthermore, having a visitor visa can also do a volunteer service for no more than 30 days. Volunteering can be the main reason for coming to the UK.
According to the official website of the UK Immigration Service, the new immigration scheme will open at the end of 2020, so that applicants can start working, studying and living in the UK in January 2021.
