在British Council 的講座中,聽到英國學生簽證的有關職員介紹,說到由於香港屬於 "Appendix H nationals" ( 'differentiation arrangement' for 'low-risk applicants'), 所以持香港特區護照或BNO的申請人,申請英國學生簽證(Tier 4 General Visa) 的要求較簡單,只需以下的文件:
1. Passport/travel document
2. A copy of application checklist (downloadable upon completion of the online application)
3. CAS number (include in application form)
4. An ATAS certificate (if applicable)
5. A Tuberculosis certificate (if applicable)
6. Parental consent (if under 18), and the proof of relationship
7. Valid previous BRP card (if applicable)
亦即是說,不用交 Evidence of your qualification and English language ability as specified in the CAS, 亦不用交 Evidence of finance.
