Nigerians and the entire populace of the other five commonwealth countries which include India, Kenya, Sri Lanka, Pakistan and Bangladesh have frowned at the 3, 000 pounds Visa Bond tourist visas that allow them to stay in the UK for up to six months.
The British Government has said it will commence the scheme in the six listed Commonwealth countries in November.
The affected countries are considered to be source of “high risk” tourists to the UK and also accounted for more than half a million visa applications in 2012.
Despite the huge protests in India, and the great displeasure expressed by Nigeria's Foreign Affairs minister, Olugbenga Ashiru at the strong discriminatory policy , Britain seems to be bent on the implementation of the policy .
This they said will help them tackle abuse in the immigration system (which occurs when some people overstay their visa terms).”
