Residency

Created

Hi, 

I have a potential learner who has moved across from Zimbabwe. They have been in the country for six months and have a right to work visa until April 2026. They also have a residence permit (valid until 31/12/2024).

I have never had this scenario before.

My initial thoughts are that they aren't eligible for funding, but I want to make sure. 

Thanks

Would need to know a little more to confirm but, assuming they've only got a Zimbabwean passport and aren't a family member of an EU national (NOT UK National!), it's unlikely they'd be eligible until they've been here for three years for either Apprenticeship or AEB (unless you're in London!)
