Courses starting on or after 1 Jan 2024: restriction on dependants

Post by sah10406 » Mon Jul 17, 2023 5:55 pm

Formal announcement today that for courses starting on or after 1 Jan 2024 only PhD students and research Masters students can bring dependants.

The provision was added into Appendix Student today at 3pm, via a Statement of Changes in the Immigration Rules:

https://www.gov.uk/government/publicati ... -july-2023

The Explanatory Memorandum explains that

The changes in relation to dependants will only apply to those students starting courses from 1 January 2024, so there will be no effect on those students making applications relating to courses starting in autumn 2023.
I do not give immigration advice. I refer you to Immigration Rules, guidance, other online content and to your sponsor.
