Dear All, <br>
<br>
Here is another reminder from RIO that we now live in Brexitland,
where <br>
allowing an European student to come here to do a project can take
up to 6 <br>
months.<br>
<br>
Regards<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">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">
