What impact will Brexit have on visas?

The UK is not a Schengen country, and you need to apply for a British visa to travel to the UK. Therefore, in most cases, visas and entry will continue as normal, and there will be no impact on travelers in the short term. However, if students studying in the UK want to apply for a Schengen visa later, it may be a little more difficult.

However, the following changes may occur in the future:

The UK-Belgium joint visa may be affected. This visa benefits travelers who want to go to both the UK and Belgium. They only need to submit one document to the British Visa Center to obtain a visa for both countries (i.e. a British visa and a Belgian Schengen visa). It remains to be seen whether this visa will remain valid after the UK leaves the EU, or whether it will continue to be issued.

Once the UK leaves the EU due to immigration issues, short-term visas will not have much impact, but long-term visas should be noted. If the UK does not only target immigrants from certain countries and regions, treating everyone equally will hurt them. Innocent onlookers like Chinese citizens.
