Britain makes student visa rules for Malaysians easier

  • Starting Monday, Malaysians will find it easier to apply for a student visa to Britain. Students are no longer required to show documentary proof of financial maintenance and education qualifications.
  • British High Commissioner Simon Featherstone said Malaysia had been added to the list of low-risk countries for Tier 4 student applications.
  • "This means our highly valued Malaysian students will from Oct 1 benefit from a simplified application process, making it easier for them to apply to study in Britain," he said.
  • Malaysian students, said Featherstone, made a vital contribution to the British economy and to making its education system one of the best in the world.
  • However, the simplified application process is only for those asking for visas to study at British universities with Highly Trusted Sponsor (HTS) status.
  • Those applying to universities without such status will still have to submit all documents with their application.
  • According to the UK Border Agency (UKBA) website, a Highly Trusted Sponsor is a licence given to universities to sponsor visas for international students outside the European Union.
