Withdrawl of the A1 level English language requirement exemption

SECTION GUIDE

All, can you hear us ?

Its still sunny and we’re loving the heat,

while Guidance changes continue.

 

The Home Office walks on, doesn’t look back

more partner and parent visa applications,

required to meet A1 level English language test,

from countries previously listed as exempt.

 

Oh think twice, from 24 July these exemptions were withdrawn,

employers please note too, the news may not be paradise for your staff

Oh think twice, if resident in a country with no A1 English providers,

you will be expected to travel to another country  to take the test.

 

We call out to you all through the blog,

please ensure you have read this

We never get blisters from writing news bits,

Will continue to keep you up to date.
