Effect of Brexit on the Visa Situation of EU Students and Overseas Students

Since Brexit in 2020, the UK government has significantly improved the visa situation for international students.

Due to the substantial increase in overseas students seeking student visas in the UK after Brexit , a few significant adjustments were made, such as the introduction of graduate visas, relaxation in the financial requirements and the system streamlining, which has eased and simplified the application process.

On the other hand, since then, the circumstance for students from the European Union has gotten worse. Before, EU students did not require a visa to study in the UK; however, if they intend to stay longer than six months, they must now apply for a visa like all other students.
