[Academic] Fwd: Inbound ERASMUS Traineeships - IMPORTANT UPDATE

[Francesco Papoff]

Dear All,

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
are asked to receive an European trainee, please be aware of the new 
visa requirements - see below -
and consult Allison Handley and myself.

Long live the EU and the Erasmus

Francesco

Dear Colleagues

*_INBOUND ERASMUS TRAINEESHIPS – IMPORTANT UPDATE_**__*

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.

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. *_Please do not agree 
to_*_*hosting an ERASMUS traineeship until you have consulted me and 
please consult me as early as possible. *_

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.

Many thanks.

Allison
