Visitors From Nigeria To UK To Pay £3000 Bond Before Entry by chux76(m): 3:55pm On Jun 23, 2013 |
Visitors from 'high risk' countries in Africa and Asia will have to put up a £3,000 cash bond to enter Britain. The money will be kept by the Government if visitors do not return home by the time their visas expire. A pilot scheme, introduced by Home Secretary Theresa May, will target hundreds of people coming to Britain on six-month visit visas from India, Pakistan, Nigeria, Ghana, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh. The countries have been picked for their high number of visa applications and what the Government sees as relatively high levels of immigration abuse and fraud, reports the Sunday Times. The bonds, to be introduced from November, will only apply to non-EU migrants, otherwise they would fall foul of European rights to free movement. 'This is the next step in making sure our immigration system is more selective, bringing down net migration from the hundreds of thousands to the tens of thousands while still welcoming the brightest and the best to Britain,' Mrs May told the Sunday Times. 'In the long run we’re interested in a system of bonds that deters overstaying and recovers costs if a foreign national has used our public services.' A second scheme will cover countries such as Kenya, the newspaper reports, which are considered to be lower-risk because immigration officials have fewer doubts about migrants' plans to return home. About 2.2million people are granted visas to enter Britain every year. Last year 296,000 people from India were granted six-month visas, as were 101,000 from Nigeria, 53,000 from Pakistan and 14,000 apiece from Bangladesh and Sri Lanka.

Nigeria is getting better. If they charge us the bond, we will apply same to them too. Tit for tat. Small scale business in Naija is booming already so we don't need UK visas. 48 Likes |

Una still wan go UK? It is obvious they no longer want Nigerians in their country. All you lot do is feed off their benefits system. Now they will ensure you don't even try it. Imagine delivering 6 children and expecting the tax payers to foot the bill. Bunch of Nigerian leeches. 12 Likes |

Alfa Seltzer: If you have 3000 pounds, please start a business in Nigeria. Any business. Don't go and waste away in England. Don't be ignorant. It's a bond not a fee, of course you'll get your money back if you return home which you're expected to, hence you're not throwing the £3000 away. By the way, such system exists in South Africa alias repatriation fee. Imagine even our own African counterpart imposes such system on other African nations. No blame game, it is what it is. 16 Likes |

Good Idea but Nigeria government should immediately apply the same on UK citizens. Come to think of it, everywhere I go these days I see this caucasians and to think dat they come here to exploit our wealth and pay us peanuts while our dummy chop and quench government watches is appaling. If you dont want us in ur country, we don't want you in ours! Shikena! 25 Likes |
