HC Deb 24 February 1969 vol 778 cc220-1W
Mr. David Mitchell

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what criteria govern the granting of entry visas to students from overseas.

Mr. Merlyn Rees

A foreign national is required to produce evidence of enrolment at a bona-fide educational establishment for a course involving at least 15 hours daytime class attendance a week, and to show that he can support himself without working during his stay. For Commonwealth citizens the requirements are similar.
