英国签证费用4月9日全面上涨
According to the latest announcement from the UK government, starting April 9, 2025, the UK will comprehensively raise fees for various visa applications, covering major categories such as student visas, work visas, and visit visas. This marks another significant adjustment in the ongoing trend of rising visa costs in recent years. Officials state that the increase aims to boost fiscal revenue to support public service expenditures. However, this fee hike has also sparked widespread attention and discussion among international students and immigrant communities.
The UK visa fees will increase across the board on April 9
根据英国政府最新公告，自2025年4月9日起，英国将全面上调各类签证申请费用，涵盖学生签证、工作签证、访问签证等多个主要类别。这是近年来签证费用持续上涨趋势中的又一重要调整，官方表示，此举旨在通过增加财政收入来支持公共服务支出。然而，此次涨价也引发了广大留学生与移民群体的广泛关注与讨论。
延期18个月？BRP转eVisa明确最终日期
Extended by 18 Months? BRP to eVisa Sets Final Deadline
The UK Home Office permits expired BRP holders with valid visas to use them until June 1, 2025. On March 27, 2025, the Immigration (Biometric Information etc.) (Amendment) Regulations 2025took effect, mandating eVisa for residence permits, extending BRP replacement from 3 to 18 months. Non-compliance within 18 months may breach “maintenance obligations,” blocking Share Code access, affecting housing and jobs. Those 16+ must update photos every 10 years, under-16s every 5 years, until 70. The new Code of Practice for non-compliancegrants those under 70 an 18-month grace period; failure to comply may incur a £1,000 fine after warnings and a 90-day buffer. Over-70s are exempt but encouraged to switch. Holders of legacy documents retain valid visas but can’t obtain Share Codes.
英国内政部年初允许过期BRP（生物识别居留许可）但签证有效者使用至2025年6月1日。2025年3月27日，《Immigration (Biometric Information etc.) (Amendment) Regulations 2025》生效，要求居留许可申请者办理eVisa，BRP换发期限从3个月延长至18个月。未在18个月内转换者可能违反“维护义务”，无法获取Share Code，影响租房和求职。16岁以上者每10年更新照片，16岁以下每5年一次，至70岁止。新版《不遵守生物信息登记规定制裁操作守则》同步实施，70岁以下者有18个月宽限期，逾期未办可面临最高£1,000罚款，需经警告和90天宽限。70岁以上者无强制要求，但鼓励转换。持旧式移民文件者签证有效，但无法申请Share Code。
英国“十年永居”政策允许连续合法居留十年者申请永久居留（ILR），但需满足“连续居留”要求。2024年4月11日起，12个月内离境不得超180天，此前单次离境限6个月，总计18个月，超限即中断资格。豁免事由包括：不可抗力（如疫情、灾害）、研究活动（特定工作或全球人才签证）、重大个人原因（如重病或亲属去世），需提供证据如医疗证明。申请人须自证豁免理由，建议咨询律师。此机制平衡管控与人道关怀，确保不可控事件不影响资格，但无正当理由离境超限可能导致申请失败
What reasons for exceeding absence limits can be exempted for the
10-year permanent residency?
The UK’s “Long Residence” policy grants permanent residency (ILR) after 10 years of lawful stay, requiring “continuous residence.” Since April 11, 2024, absences must not exceed 180 days in 12 months; previously, single trips were capped at 6 months, totaling 18 months. Exceeding limits breaks eligibility unless exempted for reasons like force majeure (e.g., pandemics, disasters), research (for specific work or Global Talent visas), or compelling personal circumstances (e.g., serious illness, family death), backed by evidence like medical records. Applicants bear the burden of proof and may consult lawyers. This balances control and compassion, protecting eligibility from uncontrollable events, but unjustified absences risk rejection.
