The UK government has lifted a rule requiring international students to register with the police – a move widely praised by the country’s international education sector.
The home office had previously required those remaining in the UK for longer than six months to register their details including place of study with local police forces. Students had previously needed to pay a fee.
It withdrew the rule on August 4, which stakeholders have suggested will remove a cause of anxiety and stress for students, as well as smoothen the international student experience in the UK.
