Dear All, <br>
<br>
Erasmus funding is still available until 31st May 2023, so we may
continue to receive and send students until the very end. However,
things will not be the same as before. In particular, if you<br>
are asked to receive an European trainee, please be aware of the new
visa requirements - see below - <br>
and consult Allison Handley and myself.<br>
<br>
Long live the EU and the Erasmus<br>
<br>
Francesco<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">I hope you are well. Following Brexit,
please be aware that the visa requirements for inbound ERASMUS
trainees has changed. In future, depending on the nature and
duration of their placement, they may require a Tier 5 visa
sponsored by the British Council which can take around 6
months to put in place. This must be done in advance of their
arrival.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In view of this, if you are interested in
hosting an ERASMUS traineeship it is important that you
contact me first and I’ll seek further guidance from our
admissions/visa compliance team on the type of visa that will
be required, and the process for securing this. <b><u><span style="color:red">Please do not agree to</span></u></b><u><span style="color:red">

<p class="MsoNormal">I would be grateful if you could share this
email with any other colleagues in your department who have
hosted ERASMUS traineeships in the past to flag this issue.
