answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/07/2017 answer text <p>I refer the hon. Member to the answer I gave him on 17 July 2017 to Questions 4409 and 4410. Commonwealth citizens who are selected to attend an Army Assessment Centre for the limited number of specialist roles for which the five year UK residency requirement has been waived, are provided with a letter of invitation from the Army National Recruiting Centre. This letter can be included within their supporting documentation for any visa applications. Candidates are personally responsible for meeting the Home Office's visa requirements to enter and then legally remain in the UK during the selection process.</p><p>A separate process, which does not involve the Army National Recruiting Centre, applies for the recruitment of Nepalese citizens into the Brigade of Gurkhas.</p> answering member constituency Bournemouth East answering member printed Mr Tobias Ellwood question first answered 20/07/2017 15:55:32 answering member 1487 label Biography information for Mr Tobias Ellwood attachment 1 file name Hansard Extract 17 July 2017.docx title Army: Foreign Nationals
