此外如果申请的是TIER 1 GENERAL, TIER 1 PSW, TIER 2 WORK PERMIT的朋友，从10月1日起，以上类别的申请表格都推出了新版本，此新版本申请表应该用于所有10月1日当天，或者此日期以后递交的所有签证申请。
关于学生签证的一些新规定：
- 以下新规定从09年10月份开始正式执行
- 两大变动内容包括：1. 学生签证资金证明的新要求； 2. 加入办学单位（包括转学）的新要求
学生签证资金证明的新要求：
1. 10月1日之后的学生签证申请，足够的资金应当存在于申请者帐户里 “至少28日”，提交的最后一份帐户月结单也应该距离申请日子不“多于一个月”。
2. 第一点的宽限期到2010年2月，对象是在英国本土续签的学生。就是说，如果是在英国本土续签学生签证的话，在2010年2月之前提交的申请，足够的资金并不需要存放在帐户里面28天；如果申请是2010年2月份之后提交的话，资金必须“至少存放在申请者帐户里面28天，并且提交的最后一份BANK STATEMENT的日子必须在申请日期的一个月以内。
3. 第一点的宽限期并不实施在英国以外的学生签证申请者，意思是说，从10月1日开始，如果你是在英国境外提交学生签证申请的话，就必须符合刚刚第一点的要求。
加入办学单位（包括转学）的新要求
1. 从10月5日开始，TIER4 STUDENT VISA的新申请者将面临更加严格的管理制度。
2. 10月5日以后申请的学生签证，在签发的ID卡上面将会显示就读学校的“REFERENCE NUMBER”（这个是在上年11月以来已经签发的学生签证ID卡上面没有的）。
3. 10月5日当天或者以后申请学生签证的申请者，如果要换学校的话，必须等到以新学校发出的信申请的新学生签证以后才能开始在新的学校上课。如果有违反此规定的将会视为“违反英国法律”，以及受到逮捕和遣返。
4. 如果是10月5日之前申请的学生签证，将继续允许在同一个学生签证下转到不同的学校，但也必须先征得HOME OFFICE的permission。（跟第三点不一样是在于10月5日之前申请的人如果要换学校不需要重新办理一个新的学生签证；如果是10月5日当天或以后申请的人要换学校就必须重新办理新的学生签证，缴纳昂贵的签证费用，才可以在新学校上课，如果违反的话就是 “at your own risk”了）。

Two new policy announcements for Tier 4 of the points-based system
30 September 2009
http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/sitecontent/newsarticles/2009/september/pbs-t4-extending-tying
In line with the launch of the sponsorship management system for Tier 4 of the points-based system on 5 October 2009, the UK Border Agency has announced new policy for Tier 4 sponsors and would-be students.
The new policy centres on two main areas:
Extending the maintenance concession for Tier 4 applicants who are already in the United Kingdom - this will help to ease the transition process for would-be students.
Tying Tier 4 students’ permission to stay to their sponsors, if they make their application on or after 5 October - this will strengthen Tier 4 and strengthen the United Kingdom border.
Extending the maintenance concession for Tier 4 applicants who are already in the United Kingdom
Tier 4 applicants need to have enough money to cover their course fees and maintenance. They must normally show that they have held this money for a 28-day period ending no more than one month before their application, but until now we have operated a concession allowing them to show only that have the required funds in place on the date when they apply. This concession ends on 1 October 2009.
However, we recognise that many students already in the United Kingdom will not have needed to show this money before, so we have decided to allow a longer transitional period for all Tier 4 applications made within the United Kingdom.
Would-be students who make a Tier 4 application from inside the United Kingdom before February 2010 will only need to show that they have the money needed on the day when they apply. They must still provide the correct documents to support their application.
From 1 October 2009, would-be students applying from outside the United Kingdom must show that they have held the required money for a 28-day period ending no more than one month before the date of their application.
Tying Tier 4 students’ permission to stay to their sponsors, if they make their application on or after 5 October
On 5 October 2009, new Tier 4 students’ permission to stay in the United Kingdom will be ‘tied’ to the education provider that is sponsoring them. This will bring Tier 4 in line with other tiers of the points-based system.
From 5 October, every new Tier 4 student will find their sponsor’s reference number on the vignette in their passport or on their identity card for foreign nationals.
In future, if a student wants to study with a new Tier 4 sponsor and they made their last application for a Tier 4 visa on or after 5 October 2009, they will need to apply for a new Tier 4 visa. They will not be allowed to begin studying with the new education provider until they have received a decision on the outcome of their application - if they do so, they will be committing a criminal offence for which they could be prosecuted or removed from the country.
We have been asked whether students in this situation will be able to begin studying with the new education provider, at their own risk, before they have received a decision on their application. The UK Border Agency cannot condone a criminal offence, and therefore cannot advise students that this is an option for them. We will make every effort to ensure that applications from students wishing to change education provider are considered within the published service standard, so that they can move to the new education provider as quickly as possible.
If a student wants to study with a new Tier 4 sponsor, and they made their last application for a Tier 4 visa before 5 October 2009, they will continue to be allowed to change their without making a new Tier 4 application. They must, however, seek permission from us to change their sponsor.
我靠！ 以后换学校就难了

thx lz~~~~ 
完蛋了，我今天刚把T1邮递走了，根本不知道10月改了新的表格，这下子肯定会拒签的，怎么办啊，我要哭死了， 
那我九月份刚换了个学校，签证10月底到期，已经预约了月底的面签
一定要给Home office写信通知吗？要不要具体解释原因的？
万一得不到permission岂不是根本就等不到月底就要卷铺盖走人了？
第二点转换学校的要再次申请的规定难道不是只针对学校赞助的学生的吗，就是你申请并获得了学校奖学金的。也就是根据表格上那栏你是谁sponsor的。
我是这样理解的。大部分同学是自己或父母sponsor的。所以大部分同学不会被影响到。

刚刚对照T1 General 的填完了，只发现这一个地方改动，34页
以前有说学习日期什么的，所以我的理解就是就是不能念书然后在用之前的工资申请了~~
还有其他的欢迎大家补充啊，埃 不出意外。。。我希望明天可以邮寄走~~~
看晕了，那位大人给解下惑：
比如我去年在一所大学读的书，今年10月开始在另一所大学读书，签证是明年1月到期，准备在到期前一个月内通过新的学校寄签（提前申请ho也不受理吧）。
这种情况下难道我还要找去年的学校要信吗？？ 
天天变,有完没完啊… 讨厌的HOME OFFICE

字面理解SPONSER 是资助人的意思
不过如果你看一下TIER 4 STUDENT VISA的申请GUIDELINE 你会发现，【APPROVED EDUCATION PROVIDER】 现在称之为 【SPONSOR】，
金钱方面的SPONSOR叫做 FINANCIAL SPONSORSHIP

mm不用难过，
表用错了不会据的，只是把材料都退回给你，
在递一次就可以了，
只是在第二次递交申请的时候现在的签证还是要有效就可以了。
我之前在英国上本科,现在续签,存了两个月的生活费,不到28天,可以先在递签吗
谢谢!!
PAK, visistor Visa会有影响么? 我妈妈想过年时候来, 停留应该不会超过6周.
每年4月跟10月都会变政策，习以为常了

你看填写表格的guide，就能发现要求的是28天期限的资金证明，建议最好别急着寄，等到了28天再寄吧
谢谢阿,再请问一下那t4现在已经是新表了，还是要过几天换新表阿
