The rules are maximum of 3 years for course below degree level and 5 years for courses at or above degree level. Theoretically, your brother has reached his maximum stay, however it does say special provisions for PHD level students so he shouldn't have problems.xleft wrote:Hello
There are new rules now and I wanted to check with you if I understand them correct. Thank you very much!
My brother studied in total 6 years in UK. 1 years on courses, 3 years on BA and 2 years on MA. He plans to start PHD in September 2012. His total time on student visas would be 6 years. If I understand correctly he should not have any problems getting new visa for PHD inside the UK because his total time is below 8 years total. So we need not to worry about anything in this case, right?
