International Student Visa Charges (EDM281)

International Student Visa Charges

EDM number 281 in 2004-05, proposed by Anne Campbell on 02/12/2004.

That this House notes existing charges for international student visas and the Home Office consultation on the review of charges for immigration applications; further notes that international students contribute five billion pounds a year to the UK economy; believes that international students make an invaluable contribution to student life, education and research at UK universities; further believes that increasing visa charges will place a greater financial burden on international students and hinder the Prime Minister's initiative to attract more international students to the UK; and calls on the Government to grant an exemption from visa charges to international students studying in the UK.

This motion has been ammended, see 294A1 and 294A2.

This motion has been signed by a total of 152 MPs.
