Part 7 Additional Information Read Guidance notes, Part 7 0606 Part 8 Declaration Read Guidance notes, Part 8 I hereby apply for an entry clearance to the United Kingdom. The information I have given is complete and true to the best of my knowledge. I have completed the separate Self-Assessment Appendix of this form to which this declaration also applies. I also declare that the photograph submitted with this form is a true likeness of myself. I confirm that if, before this application is decided, there is a material change in my circumstances or new information relevant to this application becomes available, I will inform the United Kingdom Diplomatic Mission handling my application. I am aware that it is an offence under the Immigration Act 1971 (as amended) to make a statement which I know to be false or not believe to be true, in order to obtain a visa/entry clearance to the UK. I am also aware that my application will be automatically refused and I may be banned from going to the UK for 10 years if I use a false document, lie or withhold relevant information. I may also be banned if I have breached immigration laws in the UK. I am further aware that should I use a false document, lie or withhold relevant information my details may be passed to law enforcement agencies. I declare that the documents that I have supplied with this application are genuine and the statements I have made with this application are truthful. I understand that UK Border Agency (or a trusted third party) may make reasonable checks to confirm the accuracy and authenticity of evidence I have provided and documents I have submitted with this application. I further understand that UK Border Agency (or a trusted third party) may also make reasonable checks on any sponsors to my application to verify statements contained in the application and establish that I will comply or have complied with the terms of any visa granted. I understand that if the UK Border Agency has reasonable cause to believe that any document or documents I have submitted with this application are forged, fraudulent or not genuine, and the UK Border Agency has sought to verify the documents using processes specified by it but has not been able to verify them, no points will be awarded for these documents even if the UK Border Agency cannot prove that they are not genuine. I confirm that the funds for which I have claimed points in respect of maintenance are available to me, in the manner specified in the Immigration Rules, for use in studying and living in the UK and will remain so available for the duration of any Tier 4 leave granted unless used to pay for course fees and living costs in the UK. If I have not been required to submit certain evidential documents with this application because I am a low risk student, I confirm that I have these documents and will provide them if requested to do so by the UK Border Agency. I understand that my application will be refused if I do not comply with the request made. I also understand that I may be required to provide a record of my fingerprints and a photograph of my face (“biometric data”) as part of my application. If I refuse to do so, my application may be treated as invalid and, if so will not be considered further. (See Statutory Instrument 2006 No 1743 – The Immigration (Provision of Physical Data) Regulations 2006, Regulation 7(1)). I further understand that UK entry clearance applications may be handled by British Missions in other locations, including outside the country in which I have applied for entry clearance and that this may involve the transferring of my application and supporting documents to and from another mission. I understand that the UK Border Agency will be responsible for transferring my application and supporting documents safely. I understand in these circumstances my application will still be handled in line with UKBA published customer service standards. I am aware that I may be billed for any medical treatment undertaken in the UK and that I do not have recourse to public funds during my stay in the UK. I understand that all information provided by me will be processed by the UK Border Agency in accordance with the Data Protection Act 1998. I am aware that the UK Border Agency is the data controller in relation to the information provided me in this application form. I am aware that the information I provide, including biometric data, will be treated in confidence, but it may be disclosed to other government departments, agencies, local authorities, foreign governments, and other bodies, to enable the UK Border Agency or those bodies to perform their functions. Any disclosures will be in accordance with the Data Protection Act 1998. I also understand that the information provided by me may also be used for staff training purposes. I also understand that the information provided by me, or information made available to the UK Border Agency during the processing of my application, may be shared with my sponsors(s) or any person(s) acting on their behalf or any applicant linked to my application (for example to my spouse/partner if we apply for visas for a trip together) for the sole purpose of considering my application. I am aware that if there is any information I do not want you to disclose to them I will tell you by enclosing a letter with my supporting documentation. If such requests prevent you from making legitimate enquiries, my application may be refused. I declare that the information given on this form is correct to the best of my knowledge and belief and I also consent to the processing of information provided by me by the UK Border Agency.
