NUS International Students' 'Leave to Remain' Survey results324 international students took part in the NUS flash survey on the proposal to increase leave to remain charges. Here are the results:
If the Home Office increased the 'leave to remain' charges* to between £230 and £350, what impact would that have on you? * what you pay to extend your visa
A serious impact. I might not be able to stay, I can't afford it. 65.1%
A medium impact. I would have to work some more to pay for that charge. 29.3%
No impact. It's a relatively small price to pay to be able to stay in the UK and pursue my studies. 5.6%
When prompted for a quote:
16.7% thought they were already paying expensive tuition fees
13.6% thought the charge was too expensive
12.3% thought the new charge was unfair
NUS will use these results to combat the charges.
