September 7, 200520 yr Had a search around couldn't come up with a very conclusive answer. Does anyone have info. on what tuition fees apply for UK children who live in Thailand and want to go back to UK to study at UK university. Obviously fulfill the UK/EU immigration rules but then there's a residency rule of being resident in UK for 3yrs before start of course. Anyone know if this is strictly applied; understand from reading its only waived for children of UK forces and UK companies and temporary workers overseas etc. Anyone have experience of this situation?
September 7, 200520 yr University Fees are paid by local authorities, not by central goverment. The rule is, the local authority where the applicant for university fees was living in the preceding 12 months has the obligation to pay the fees (where the applicant meets the other requirements - acceptance on a course etc). So the challenge is to get your child accepted as resident in the catchment area of a local authority. The difficulty is they local authorities are all strapped for cash and are keen to dump applicants on other authorities - exam results from overseas might flag the chance of the authrity not having to pay.
September 7, 200520 yr I think you are right, three years is the newer rule. I'm basing what I said above on the experience of a friend's daughter who I acted as executer to his will (4 years ago). Here's some info that might help...

Guide to University Fees It is quite clear that the requirement is based on residence in the UK and that fees are paid by the local authority where residence is held.
September 9, 200520 yr Author Anyone have experience with this - ie. having to pay interntl fees or not as the case maybe. Seems a bit steep when half of Europe can get in on Home Student rates. It seems that this has changed in the last few years - according to posts? Any further info anyone might have would be useful.
