VISITORS from India, Pakistan, Nigeria and other “high risk”
countries in Asia and Africa will be forced to pay a £3,000 cash bond
before they can enter Britain. From November, a pilot scheme will
target visitors from seven countries who will have to pay the government
a form of cash guarantee or deposit to deter immigration abuse.
They
will forfeit the £3,000 if they overstay in Britain and fail to return
to their home countries by the time their visa has expired. The
controversial move by the home secretary, Theresa May, to introduce the
Australian-style system reflects her determination to show that the
Tories are serious about cutting immigration and curbing abuses.
