Home vs International Applicant

I’m kinda confused as to the regulations for home vs international applicants as I can’t seem to find much info about it online.
So I’m British and was born and raised in England, however my parents currently live abroad as expats due to their jobs. My fixed address is in the UK (with my grandparents), but I do spend a portion of the year with my parents abroad.
Will this affect my ability to apply as a home candidate/am I obligated to mention this in applications?
Thank you!!

Do you go to school in the UK?

Just to note that UCAS can’t give any guidance with regards to fee status, as this is determined by the unis you apply to.

Hi @Okcomputer1 ,
This is a great question!
You should be classed as a home/ UK student, not international. This is because you reside in the UK as your fixed address the majority of the time. If you want the most accurate answer, I recommend contacting UCAS directly.
I hope this helps, please feel free to ask me any questions,

Ahh this makes sense!! Thank you so much for your answers, this has definitely cleared things up!! 😊

Straightforward guidelines about Fee Status here - Understanding your tuition fee status- but is up to each Uni how they interpret this. Each Uni may also ask you to complete a fee questionnaire if they require more details once they get your application. The important thing is that you do not try and 'hide' anything - ie. your family home is overseas and your current address is in the UK.

Thank you so much, that link is really useful!!
Just curious- is it important for me to mention on an application the fact that my parents work abroad? (I don’t want to overcomplicate things as I don’t reside permanently with them, but I also don’t want to seem like I’m withholding information if that makes sense?) Thank you again 😊

Unless your grandparents have formal custody, your parents are where you live - ie. you return to them during the holidays so its no different from bring at boarding school.

I don't think this is correct based on your current guidance.
