What are the precautions for a visiting scholar visa in the UK?

The visiting scholar visa in Britain was very easy at first, but it was revised after the change of British immigration law in 2006.

Strictly speaking, a British visiting scholar has two meanings in English, one is an academic visitor and the other is a research scholar. At present, these two names are collectively referred to as visiting scholars in Chinese, but they are not rigorous, which has also caused a large number of visiting scholars sent by the National Scholarship Fund Committee to be refused visas.

Under the classification of British immigration law, visiting scholars apply for different types of visas because of their different work or research projects in the UK. If you are going to Britain to do some independent academic research, academic exchange and simple study, then the applicant only needs to apply for an academic visit visa.

If the applicant wants to go to Britain to do cooperative research, go to a local university to carry out cutting-edge research and development, discussion and cooperative research projects with relevant researchers, and do research work for the other institution, then the applicant actually goes to work. This job has nothing to do with who actually supports it and whether it is paid or not. Many applicants and even some visa agencies think that whether a job is paid or not is a mistake. Legally speaking, even if you don't pay wages or even pay back the money, as long as the purpose of your trip to the UK and the business you are engaged in are of a work nature, then the British immigration law is classified as a work visa. According to the law after 20 13, applicants need to apply for a TIER 5 short-term work visa instead of an academic visit visa.

Never blindly submit a visiting scholar visa. Once the visa is rejected, even if the applicant changes a new invitation letter (provided that the inviter can cooperate), then logically speaking, the British visa officer may refuse the visa for the second time. Because the visa officer will subjectively think that since the applicant applied for a work visa for the first time, it is logically unreasonable to exchange invitations for non-work purposes for the second time after refusing the visa, which is equivalent to the change made for the second time to cater to the visa, so the credibility is low.
