　　本报讯(记者 马丹)近日英国签证政策发生多项变化。其中，精简中国访客赴英的申请签证手续，和扩大签证“真实性测试”考核范围最受瞩目。留学专家介绍，虽然英国政府希望通过简化流程来吸引优秀人才，但并不意味着放宽签证条件，学生在递交普通学生签证和学生访问签证时要参加简短的面试。

　　今年6月起，英国政府修订扩大了“真实性测试”在其他签证类别的使用范围，包括那些已经身在英国的想要申请学生签证的学生、牧师及临时工作者，而所有申请英国签证的学生更要100%接受面试才能获得签证。留学专家说，签证面试就是“真实性测试”的一种，它会对学生的申请资料和素质都有更加严格的审查。留学专家说，增加“真实性测试”，一方面表明英国签证的获取难度增加，但同时，也能够更仔细地筛选申请人，避免移民政策被滥用。

　　未来，访问类签证也将作出修订，游客可以在英国期间参加短期课程，包括休闲课程和英语学习课程等，而之前的签证政策对于入境者的目的有严格的限制，不得从事签证类型规定以外的任何活动。业内人士表示，这意味着去往英国探亲访友或旅游的人士不必申请学生签证，就可以进行短期学习。
