Foreign students to be hit again II

Visa renewal fees for foreign students will rise to 250 pounds (postal application) and 500 pounds (application in person) from April, it was announced yesterday.

I wrote about this on 26 October 2004 and have nothing much to add now. This policy is not in Scotland’s interests. If I were a foreign student, I wouldn’t want to come to Scotland and pay visa fees at this level.

Back in October I asked if the SNP were paying attention to this issue. Regrettably the answer seems to be no.
