answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/05/2022 answer text <p>We do not have any plans to waive visa application fees for language assistants who are looking to use the Points Based System to work in UK schools.</p><p> </p><p>Fees provide a vital contribution towards the provision of the resources necessary to operate and sustain our borders and immigration system. This reduces reliance on taxpayer funding, while ensuring the costs of the system are met. It would be unfair to the taxpayer and other users of the immigration system if we were to exempt EU citizens seeking work as language assistants given our migration system is now a global one, not one determined by whether you hold an EEA or non-EEA passport</p> answering member constituency Torbay answering member printed Kevin Foster question first answered 26/05/2022 10:46:31 answering member 4451 label Biography information for Kevin Foster previous answer version 3130 answering member constituency Torbay answering member printed Kevin Foster answering member 4451 label Biography information for Kevin Foster
