Hi people. biggrin.gif

I would like to clarify about bringing electronic items to the UK.

I've heard from a friend that rice cookers can't be brought in due to the recent Boston bombing.

Is it true? smile.gif

You don't need to bring your ic....it is useless outside Msia.....but take good care if your passport....

Well, it's useful as a source of identification to bring around (age verification purposes especially) since carrying your passport has a higher chance of being lost. smile.gif

In which case you stand an equal chance of loosing your IC as well..

Some places in UK may recognise it as proof of age, but officially, it is not excepted....eg by banks....

Proof of age, as in being allowed to drink, is best served by the student card....

Haha, some student cards like mine currently, doesn't specify age so it's useless. smile.gif

Meaning it's relatively 'easier' than before to secure training post right ? sweat.gif

I guess it would be relatively easier since internationals from UK medical schools won't be subjected to Resident Labour Market Test for the speciality training. So, they would be considered in the first round of applications together with the locals since their sponsors for the tier 2 visa would automatically be under the Health Education England.

However, if they have decided to change to a different programme in the midst of it, they would be subjected to the RLMT again. smile.gif

Hi, mind elaborate on bold statement ?

Do you mean change in specialty programme ?

Am trying to understand your statement clearer .  blush.gif

In a way , comes August this year , tier 2 visa is within easier reach  for non-EU international med students right ?

Exam finishes on ?  smile.gif

Oh right, like example, the person doing a speciality in orthopaedics decided to go for let say.. ENT halfway, so he would need to reapply and would be subjected to the resident market labour test. smile.gif

Yup, the tier 2 would be easier to get hold on since the sponsors for internationals from UK medical school would automatically be under the health education England, instead of needing to find employers for sponsorship.

Exams just finished today. biggrin.gif time to enjoy the summer.
