The United Kingdom government will soon announce new restrictions that will most likely prevent Nigerian students, other nationalities studying in the UK from bringing their family members over.
According to an exclusive report by The Sun UK, this restriction will be announced this week.
This will get all Masters students and other Post-Graduate students banned from bringing family members over.
The UK Media House reported that the ban will not apply to PhD students, whose courses normally last between 3 and 5 years and are very highly skilled.
This came as a reaction to reports that net migration into the UK has increased to 1 million with Tory MPs requesting that the Prime Minister, Rishi Sunak, “get a grip on the rocketing numbers.”
To mitigate the increasing numbers, UK ministers are expected to announce the immigration clampdown on Tuesday or Wednesday.
The Sun reports that “Rishi Sunak is expected to come out fighting on immigration – pointing out they are figures he inherited as they date back to the year ending December 2022 – two months after he became PM.
“There has been an explosion in the number of people coming to Britain piggybacking on their relative’s student visa.
“Students brought 135,788 family members to Britain last year – nine times more than in 2019.
“Last year, 59,053 Nigerian students brought over 60,923 relatives.”
While talking to The Sun recently, a Tory MP said: “We have got to get a grip.”
