The
UK home secretary, Theresa May, has introduced a new system to cut down the rate
of immigrant into the country.
Starting
from November, a pilot scheme will target visitors from India, Pakistan,
Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Nigeria and Ghana who will have to pay the UK government
a form of cash guarantee or deposit to prevent 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.
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.
