Eligibility

My daughter has been living with grandparents in England since June 2021. She is a British passport holder. She has a conditional deferred place for 2024 and is in year 13 now in an English school. She has home status from the universities where she has offers. We (her parents) will support her sfe application. Is our residency status considered for her application or is it just on her status?

Hi there, It would be based on her status in the UK only to determine her eligibility. Thanks, Angela

Hi, thanks so much for being clear. So, we are paid by a UK company (so would share our P60) but are non resident for tax. This will not impact on her eligibility for student loans? It is only on her 3 years in the Uk prior to starting?

Hi there, No, this would not affect her eligibility. Thanks, Angela

That’s great to know! Do you have a link to the documentation that makes this clear? I have all of it about her 3 year residency but not the parents bit!

Hi, another question! I’ve seen on a couple of other threads that those working abroad are required to complete a PFF2 form? However, is this required if we are paid by a British company and have a P60 and an NI no? Thanks again

Hi there, You should be able to submit the details online Sponsors who are overseas aren't generally paid using their National Insurance Number (NINO) so these figures aren't able to be checked with HMRC. If you are paid by a British company and this can be checked with HMRC you can complete the information online. Thanks, Karen

Thank you so much, but to confirm- the fact that we are not resident for tax purposes and this is recorded on our HMRC records will not have any impact on her application?
