- you are applying as an Academic Visitor and intend to stay in the UK for more than 6 months;
- you are applying as a parent of a child at school and intend to stay in the UK for more than 6 months;
- you are applying as a Prospective Student;
- you are stateless (you do not have a nationality);
- you hold a non-national travel document (a travel document which does not give you the nationality of the country that issued it), or
- you hold a passport issued by an authority that is not recognised in the UK.
