LONDON — Britain is tightening its rules on student visas to prevent people from flouting the rules and working illegally.
The changes — which are effective immediately — won’t stop genuine students from traveling to Britain to study, Home Secretary Alan Johnson said Sunday.
Under the new rules, those from outside the European Union who come to Britain for short courses — less than six months — can no longer bring their dependents. Hours that foreign students can work will be cut and a higher standard of English will be required.
