重磅！英國簽證利好消息最新出臺

英國當(dāng)?shù)貢r間2016年7月25日，英國內(nèi)政部發(fā)布一項針對國際學(xué)生簽證的新政策。該政策將進(jìn)一步簡化國際學(xué)生研究生簽證申請簽證流程，延長國際學(xué)生研究生課程簽證時長。這是自從英國內(nèi)政部于2012年4月取消PSW工作簽證以來，首次放寬國際學(xué)生在課程畢業(yè)后的留英時間！

新政策內(nèi)容：

第一：符合要求的學(xué)生將獲得比入讀課程時長多出六個月時間的簽證，這六個月對國際學(xué)生在英國當(dāng)?shù)卣夜ぷ魇株P(guān)鍵。對比現(xiàn)行政策，新政策將多出國際學(xué)生三到四個月留英時間。

第二：符合要求的學(xué)生在申請學(xué)生簽證時，內(nèi)政部不再要求必須提供資金或?qū)W歷證明文件。而現(xiàn)行政策，這些文件都是必須提供的，并且資金證明文件的要求是一直以來簽證容易出問題的地方。因此，新政策的簽證申請材料和流程將大為簡化。但是需要注意的是，在審理簽證過程中，如果內(nèi)政部認(rèn)為有必要，可能還會要求提供相關(guān)材料作為補充。

新政策適用學(xué)生：

適用新政策的學(xué)生有兩個條件，一是目前僅限于入讀以下四所大學(xué)的學(xué)生：劍橋大學(xué)、牛津大學(xué)、帝國理工學(xué)院、以及巴斯大學(xué)；二是入讀研究生學(xué)位課程，并且該課程時長不超過13個月(不含學(xué)前語言課程)。

政策原文：

Annex 6 Tier 4 Pilot

If you are applying to study a Masters course for 13 months or less (excluding the duration of any pre-sessional course) at the University of Oxford, University of Cambridge, University of Bath or Imperial College London, you are eligible to participate in the Tier 4 pilot. This includes if you are applying from both outside and inside the UK.

Participating in the pilot allows you to: - stay longer after the end of the course - the total length of stay you are allowed is the full length of the course plus six months after the end of the course; - submit fewer evidential documents with your application you will not be required to submit certificates or documents showing your previous qualifications or transcript of results and documents showing you meet the maintenance requirements.

In all cases you must confirm on your application form that you meet the requirements and that you hold documentary evidence in the manner required. We may request these from you even where you qualify for the pilot. The Immigration Rules still apply to you, therore you must ensure you follow the rest of the guidance carully. This includes submitting an ATAS certificate and TB screening certificate where appropriate.

If you do choose to submit documentary evidence, despite being eligible for the pilot, we will consider that information as part of the overall assessment.

If you are bringing dependants with you and they apply at the same time as you, they will also not be required to submit documents showing they meet the maintenance requirements. If they don t apply at the same time they will need to submit supporting documentation with their application.

If you have any concerns, speak to your University visa office in the first instance.

雖然新政策只是試運行，并且范圍比較有限。但是不失為英國內(nèi)政部放寬國際學(xué)生留英政策的一個有利信號。
