Compulsory English tests for non-European migrants to UK
====================================
Non-European migrants who wanted to enter or remain in the United Kingdom as the partner of British citizens or a person settled there have to prove their English language ability, by taking an approved test, the UK government says.
The new rules effective from next Monday will apply to anyone applying as the husband, wife, civil partner, unmarried partner, same-sex partner, fianc้ or prospective civil partner of a British citizen or person settled in the country, it said.
These tests will be compulsory for people applying from within the UK as well as visa applicants from overseas, according to a statement from the British Embassy.
Migrant spouses and partners will have to demonstrate English language ability at A1 level of the Common European Framework of Reference (speaking and listening).
Applicants will be required to provide evidence with their application that they have passed an acceptable English test with one of the UK Border Agency's approved test providers.
"This new requirement was announced in June this year and as we get close to the implementation date we'd like to remind those planning on applying for a marriage visa to the UK that from November 29 they will be required to pass a compulsory English language test," said Ed Mackie, UK Border Agency regional manager for East Asia.
"Speaking English promotes integration into British society and broadens opportunities. The new rules will help ensure that migrant spouses are able to participate in British life from the outset and integrate more easily into wider UK society," he said.
