UK scraps visa bond plan for Nigerians, others
The proposal envisaged the payment of
£3000 bond by the “high-risk” visitors from India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and Ghana which would be forfeited if the visitor fails to return home.
The countries criticised the proposal as discriminatory. The federal government vowed to retaliate if it was implemented.
They received the support of Nick Clegg, the leader of the Liberal Democrats – the junior partner in the ruling coalition in the United Kingdom – who said his party would oppose the idea.
British Home Office confirmed yesterday that the policy had been dropped.
