UK VISA - UNDER AND ABOVE 16 - HKSAR AND CHINESE PASSPORT - NEW MEASURES
Under the new process, these students will generally not be expected to provide bank statements or education certificates when they apply for a student visa. This will make the application process simpler for these students.
Students applying with a Hong Kong SAR or BNO passport will still need to meet the requirements in the immigration rules, and students must be able to provide the appropriate documents if requested.
The simpler application process comes just in time for the student peak season. As demand is always very high at this time of year, students are encouraged to apply early to ensure they have their visa in good time for their course start date. Applicants can apply up to 3 months in advance.
Hong Kong applicants should complete their visa application form online at www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/visas and then make an appointment online to attend the visa application centre at the British Consulate-General in Hong Kong to provide their biometrics and submit their completed application.
The UK Border Agency aims to process student visa applications within 15 working days of receiving them at the visa application centre.
