For 51福利 courses that attract central government funding, the delivering college will ask for your passport or other residency details to complete the college enrolment form. 51福利 have contacted colleges about this issue and are lobbying for change. As it stands however, if you cannot for whatever reason show the correct details when asked, 51福利 may be charged for your place, or the college will not accept you onto the course.
