You are considered to be a low risk national by UK immigration officials (UKBA) if you are from one of the following countries:

• Argentina
• Australia
• British National Overseas
• Brunei
• Canada
• Chile

• Japan
• New Zealand
• Singapore
• South Korea
• Taiwan
  (those who hold a passport issued by Taiwan that includes the number of the identification card issued by the competent authority in Taiwan)

If you are a national of one of these countries you do not always have to provide your qualifications or evidence of your maintenance funds.
