UK Study Visa Rules set to be tightened for students outside the European Union
by neha - April 8, 2011
There is a considerable amount of controversy regarding Visa rules in the United Kingdom. Recently, the visa system which has prevailed in the country has come under a considerable amount of criticism
The government of the United Kingdom has made up all the plans to make the visa system more stringent. A lot of liberalization was evident in the visa system but the government is all set to curtail it. Theresa May who is the home secretary of the nation has predicted that all students should not be allowed to get easy visa access. The students who belong to the top league of academic credentials will only be permitted with visa access.
There are a variety of factors which are taken into consideration before the visa access is provided to the students. The first factor which plays an important role in this regard is related to the academic inclination of the students. The students need to emphasize and prove in every way that they have touched down in the country to go ahead with their academic interests. The financial capabilities of the students are also taken into consideration.
As per the objective set by the current Prime Minister of the country, David Cameron immigration needs to be scaled down in a big way. The annual target is to bring it down to thousands which will continue till the year 2015. But as per the business secretary of the government, Vince Cable, the revenue which is earned by the UK universities at a regular basis will be affected in a big way. As per the information which has been received in the United Kingdom, the nationals who did not belong to the continent of Europe has received 362,000 visas in all
There is also a considerable amount of corruption which has gripped the system as far as issuing these types of visas are concerned. Some of the applicants are also ready to invest money and get access to the land of United Kingdom. The students are willing to invest a considerable amount of pounds for getting admission in the various renowned private colleges based in the United Kingdom.
According to information received here, a large number of students from the Philippines have been admitted in the UK colleges. A total number of six students had invested around 250,000 pounds to get their work done.
