UK lifts police registration requirement for international students
14 August 2022
The UK government has removed a requirement that international students must register with the police in a move which has been praised by higher education institutes in the UK.
Previously, certain international students aged 16 or over residing in the UK for over six months were required to register with the police as part of their visa application. The rule was fully withdrawn on August 4th and going forward, students will no longer need to register their data.
UKCISA chief executive, Anne Marie Graham, said: “For many years, UKCISA and its members have called for the removal of this unnecessary bureaucracy, which causes anxiety and stress for international students.
“This will have an immediate benefit to the international student experience in the UK.”
