There's good news for Chinese students in the UK. Foreign students could stay six months more after their course ends. The new plan will attract more students and at the same time offer more time for them to apply for work visa (Tier 2 visa). The new rules only apply to students of some best universities.

The new plan is aimed at overseas student visa (Tier 4 visa). According to the new policy, students will have another six-month visa period on the course duration basis, two months longer than earlier. However, this plan only applies to graduate students from Cambridge University, Oxford University, Imperial College and University of Bath. Also the course duration shouldn't last for more than 13 months (pre-sessional language courses excluded). Besides, no fund or education background certification will be required, although Cambridge University has asked students to prepare all these necessary papers to avoid rejection.

This is the first time ever in the past four years that the UK government has eased overseas student visa policy as new PM Theresa May shifted her tightened policy on migrants as Home Secretary. May called off PSW visa in 2012, which allowed two more years for the graduates to stay in UK without any work visa. She also tried to cancel the four-month extended visa period for overseas students. The plan was not in action after then-finance minister George Osborne intervened.

In general, visa policy of UK includes three kinds of visa types: visitor visa, work visa and student visa. Work visas include Tier 1 visa (for entrepreneur), Tier 2 visa (for general worker) and Tier 5 visa (for temporary worker). Student visa is Tier 4 visa.
