Pentru cererile de viză sau cetățenie, trebuie să dovedești cunoștințele de limbă engleză promovând un test de limbă engleză (SELT).

Deoarece rutele de imigrare necesită niveluri diferite de cunoștințe de limbă engleză, testul pe care trebuie să îl susții depinde de tipul de aplicație pe care o faci. Există 2 tipuri de test.

Pentru următoarele vize( rute de aplicare), va trebui să susții un test care evaluează abilitățile tale de citire, scriere, vorbire și ascultare:

  • Health and Care Worker
  • High Potential Individual
  • Innovator Founder
  • Minister of Religion
  • Scale-up Worker
  • Skilled Worker
  • Start-up
  • Student
  • Temporary Work – International Agreement (servitori particulari într-o gospodărie diplomatică care depun cerere pentru entry clearance)

Pentru următoarele rute de aplicare, va trebui să susții un test care evaluează abilitățile tale de vorbire și ascultare:

  • cetătenie britanică (citizenship)
  • International Sportsperson
  • parent
  • partner
  • Representative of an Overseas Business
  • settlement (cunoscut și ca indefinite leave to remain)

Nivelul testului de care ai nevoie, cunoscut ca nivelul Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR), va depinde de ruta pentru care aplici. Pentru a afla de ce nivel ai nevoie, vezi ghidul specific pentru ruta ta de imigrare.
