时事 : 英国签证政策,又有新动作

     The UK Government is going to change theway that it issues permission for people to come to the UK from abroad for morethan six months. To start with (probably at the end of February 2015) the newsystem will apply only to people applying from Pakistan. Soon after that itwill be extended to a second group of countries, with more countries beingadded on 29 May 2015, and all the remaining countries in the world on 31 July2015.

英国政府计划对来英六个月以上的国际人士实行新的签证政策。首先对其实行该政策的国家是巴基斯坦(很可能是2015年2月底),随后,2015年5月29日之前会在第二批国家实行该政策,2015年7月31日前完成其他国家的签证整改。

     The current system is that when studentsapply in their home country for permission to come to the UK, they receive an ‘entry clearance’ sticker in their passport, which usually gives them permission toenter the UK and then stay in the UK for the length of their course (plus ashort time afterwards). The new system will be more complicated. When a studentmakes their immigration application abroad, they will have to say what townthey are going to stay in when they first arrive in the UK. They will be givena short-term entry clearance in their passport that gives them 30 days in whichto travel to the UK and then go to a Post Office near the town identified, tocollect a ‘Biometric Immigration Document’ (‘BID’) which showstheir permission to be in the UK for the rest of their course (plus a shortamount of time afterwards).

Most students will want to collect theirBIDs very soon after arriving, as they are likely to be needed for manypurposes.

目前的政策是,当学生在自己国家办理英国签证时,护照里会贴上一张‘entry clearance’,拿着这个才能进入英国,然后你可以在英国待到课程结束(结束后可以多待一小段时间)。新政策更加繁琐,当国际生在境外申请移民签证时,他们要先声明自己到达英国之后会住在哪儿,然后拿到一个短期entry clearance,到了英国,30天内必须去指定的邮局,领取‘Biometric Immigration Document’ (生物指纹卡),上面会显示你可以在英国学习多长时间(结束后仍然可以多待一小段时间)。


   大多数学生在到达英国之后,要尽快拿到生物指纹卡,因为用到这张卡的地方会很多。
