UK Student Visa Policy To Be Reconsidered And Reframed

18 Dec 2012

UK student visa policy makes interview compulsory for all Chinese students from next fiscal year.

“Many colleges in Britain are selling not an education but immigration. The student visa system has been abused on an industrial scale and the government needs to take measures to eradicate this kind of abuse from the system”

"We also take action to make sure that students who want to come to Britain really are students," May said. "So the new immigration rules make clear that if you want to study here, you have to be able to speak English, support yourself financially without working."

"Not all students need to have an interview. The embassy would check the applicants and only pick some students, who we think need further information, to have interviews," the employee said. "However, the student visa application indeed will be stricter starting next year. The embassy will increase the number of students who need to have interviews."

The interview for Chinese students will be held in Beijing. This may put hindrance to many students who want to go to UK for study but don’t stay in or nearby Beijing.

For Indian students the visa interview has not been made compulsory but the UK high consulate can decide for an interview if they find to do so.
