Young Commonwealth citizens, aged 17 to 27 inclusive, admitted for some other temporary purpose may be granted an extension of stay as working holidaymakers provided that they meet the requirements of paragraph 30.

Students

97. A person who satisfied the Immigration Officer that he had been accepted here for a full-time course as a student, could maintain and accom- modate himself during his stay, and would leave when his studies were completed, is likely to have been admitted for an appropriate period, depend- ing on the length of his course, with a condition restricting his freedom to take employment.

employment, and advised to apply to ine Home Office for a variation of his leave when he had completed his arrangements for study.

98. A student or would-be student who applies for variation of his leave for the purpose of study may, subject to paragraph 99, be granted an extension for an appropriate period if he produces evidence, which is verified on a check being made, that he is enrolled for a full-time course of daytime study which meets the requirements for admission as a student; that he has (if he is a student) given and is giving regular attendance; and that he is able to maintain and accommodate himself and any dependants without working and without recourse to public funds. An extension should be refused if there is reason to believe that the student does not intend to leave at the end of his studies.

99. Extensions of stay should not be granted to students who appear to be moving from one course to another without any intention of bringing their studies to a close. An extension of stay should normally be refused if it would lead to more than four years being spent on short courses.

Other bona fide students may, with the consent of the Department of Employment, work in their free time or vacations and there is no restriction on the freedon, of their wives to take employment: earnings so obtained may be taken into account in assessing the adequacy of their arrangements for maintenance. If the Immigration Officer imposed a condition prohibiting employment on someone who later establishes satisfactorily that he is engaged on a full-time course of studies, the condition may be varied to one permitting him to take approved employment. Except as mentioned in this paragraph. employment is inconsistent with student status.

Training and work experience
