UK Government Backs Down On £3,000 Visa Bonds by Bonaguy(m): 1:02pm On Nov 03, 2013 |
[img]http://3.bp..com/-S4Hm4coZg_8/UnYvlKzPExI/AAAAAAACKd0/FUywbzFnbOI/s1600/photo.JPG[/img] The UK government has announced plans to cancel the £3,000 cash bond that visitors from 'high risk' countries, including Nigeria, were to put up to enter Britain. Below is the latest update from The Sunday Times UK.. The government is to abandon a controversial plan to impose £3,000 immigration bonds on visitors from “high-risk” countries in Africa and Asia after Nick Clegg threatened to block the policy. The move will be seen by Labour as a humiliating U-turn for Theresa May, the home secretary. It came after David Cameron backed off from a full-scale confrontation with the Liberal Democrat leader, who was blocking the scheme’s progress through cabinet. A pilot project to target visitors from seven countries — including India, Pakistan and Nigeria — who would have had to pay a cash guarantee or deposit to deter immigration abuse was to have been introduced this month. The plan was to make visitors forfeit £3,000 if they failed to return home by the time their visas had expired. But in an announcement this weekend the government said it was canceling the plans http://www.gistmetro.com/2013/11/uk-government-backs-down-on-3000-visa.html |
