If the process and documents were completed/submitted before the change of law, do we need to repeat it with the new restrictions?

It depends on whether you received the acceptance letter before the change of the law or later.

If you passed our internal English exam, we will be giving a confirmation letter which refers to the Higher Education Ministry information that all candidates who passed university exam before 1st of August can be accepted for studies.

If you provided us with an English proficiency certificate that is no longer accepted, we will be giving the above-mentioned letter. However, in this case consulates will probably refer to the date of submitting visa application documents – if it was done before 1st of August, they will recognize other certificates; if after 1st of August, the certificates may not be accepted.

As for the entry exams – the consulates will be referring to the date of submitting the visa application documents – if it was done before 1st of July, they will accept documents without entry exams; if after 1st of July, they will not accept.

Can I ask when are the final exams for Medicine completed? Are they completed before June each year? This is important for UK and Ireland students, so that they can register to work immediately. They need to have their Graduation before 10 June on the final year.

Once the students pass the medical exam on the final year, they have their Graduation which is usually at the end of June or at the very beginning of July.
