\ndetails regarding the changes that have taken place in the relationship with
\nGreat Britain, which, from January 1, 2021, is no longer part of the European
\nUnion. Some of the most important changes are for the Europeans who want to
\nwork or study in the UK from now on. Those who want to work in the UK will need
\na visa. Visas will have to be paid and awarded on the basis of a score that
\nrequires the applicant to have a job offer from a recognized British company,
\non an annual salary of at least \u00a3 25,600, and a good knowledge of English.
\nRomanian and European students who want to study in the UK from the next
\nacademic year will also need visas, and tuition fees will be considerably
\nhigher. Until last year, European students paid the same tuition fees as their
\nBritish counterparts and had access to bank loans to finance their studies.
\nCitizens of the European Union who want to visit the United Kingdom for tourism
\npurposes do not need a visa if their stay is not longer than 6 months. <\/p>\n
