英国当地时间7月25日，UKVI（英国内政部移民签证处）终于在打压国际留学生数年后，颁布了一次利好政策。原文如下：

Annex 6 Tier 4 Pilot

2. Participating in the pilot allows you to:

- stay longer after the end of the course - the total length of stay you are allowed is the full length of the course plus six months after the end of the course;

- submit fewer evidential documents with your application – you will not be required to submit certificates or documents showing your previous qualifications or transcript of results and documents showing you meet the maintenance requirements.

3. In all cases you must confirm on your application form that you meet the requirements and that you hold documentary evidence in the manner required. We may request these from you even where you qualify for the pilot. The Immigration Rules still apply to you, therefore you must ensure you follow the rest of the guidance carefully. This includes submitting an ATAS certificate and TB screening certificate where appropriate.

4. If you do choose to submit documentary evidence, despite being eligible for the pilot, we will consider that information as part of the overall assessment.

5. If you are bringing dependants with you and they apply at the same time as you, they will also not be required to submit documents showing they meet the maintenance requirements. If they don’t apply at the same time they will need to submit supporting documentation with their application.

6. If you have any concerns, speak to your University visa office in the first instance.

从条例解读中可以看出来最直接的利好信息就是：

1.如果你是将就读于巴斯，牛津，剑桥，帝国理工的硕士学生，并且所读课程不超过13个月时。你申请的学生签证可以比其他大学的学生多出6个月的签证时长。这意味着对于那些打算读完硕士以后想留在英国工作的学生，他们会有更充裕的时间来找工作。当然不想工作的人，也有充裕的时间在英国旅游玩耍。

2. 这四个大学的签证申请者，在申请签证时不用提供之前的学位证和成绩单以及来证明你有足够资金的材料。但是ATAS和TB Screening Certifcate (肺结核检查报告）还是需要照常提供（如果正常申请需要的话）。 另外馒头哥提醒各位同学切勿耍小聪明，虽然在申请签证时，UKVI不需要提供你提供学位证、成绩单和学位证的材料，但是不代表你可以不准备。尤其是资金证明还是要满足正常申请的全部要求，因为在第三条中，UKVI明确表示他们有可能会抽查要求申请者补充这些材料。

3. Tier 4 Dependent签证如果是和Tier 4签证同时申请，则Dependent享受和主申请人的同等利好政策。如果是分开申请，则需要提供全部正常申请的材料。

4. 如果对于以上政策有任何疑问的话，可以直接联系相应大学，他们会给你们做出全面解释。当然馒头哥也是很愿意帮大家排忧解难的。

在此之前，英国新首相“梅姨”，外号“留学生杀手”曾今就学生签证说到，他们会进一步缩紧学生签证来控制净移民数量，当时已经吓坏馒头哥了。不过当时她也说到他们要确保吸引世界上最好的学生来英国学习，看来这次的利好政策充分说明了对于学霸们，他们还是非常欢迎的。根据馒头哥推测下次会有更多好的高校会慢慢加入到这个“特权”名单中。如果想享受这些“特权”就来咨询馒头哥如何成为一名学霸吧。
