With the peak season for Tier 4 student and student visitor visa applications fast approaching, the British Council is putting on a national roadshow in China from 23 to 29 April 2015 to bring agents up to date on the latest information about UK education and related visa regulations. The roadshow will visit Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Chengdu and Wuhan and will be open to education agents from across the country.
Representatives from UK Visas & Immigration (UKVI) in China will join the roadshow to explain recent policy changes regarding the Secure English Language Tests, Biometric Residence Permit and the health surcharge, and IELTS experts will be on hand to share information about test registrations and test centres.
