Prospective Cypriot students may need to apply for UK immigration points system

Prospective Cypriot students planning to study in the UK next year may need to apply to the UK’s points-based immigration system.

The British High Commission announced on Thursday that Cypriots can apply beginning October 5 to the new system.

The Commission’s Twitter account provided the link https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/uk-points-based-immigration-system-eu-student-information for more information.

In a policy statement published by the UK government in February, it was said that: “We are ending free movement and will introduce an Immigration Bill to bring in a firm and fair points-based system that will attract the high-skilled workers we need to contribute to our economy, our communities and our public services.”

The Cyprus Mail is the only English-language daily newspaper published in Cyprus. It was established in 1945 and today, with its popular and widely-read website, the Cyprus Mail is among the most trusted news sites in Cyprus. The newspaper is not affiliated with any political parties and has always striven to maintain its independence. Over the past 70-plus years, the Cyprus Mail, with a small dedicated team, has covered momentous events in Cyprus’ modern history, chronicling the last gasps of British colonial rule, Cyprus’ truncated independence, the coup and Turkish invasion, and the decades of negotiations to stitch the divided island back together, plus a myriad of scandals, murders, and human interests stories that capture the island and its -people. Observers describe it as politically conservative.
