UK Considers Tougher Visa Rules for Nigerian Students Over High Influx of Family Members daily_trust: Nigeria
The Times UK quoted the UK Home Secretary, Suella Braverman, as saying the government was considering tightening the rules on dependants.
Analysis from the Home Office report shows that Nigerians accounted for 40% of all dependants who accompanied foreign students in the 12 months to June 2022- despite Nigerian students making up just 7% of all foreign students in that period. By comparison, the figures show that 93,049 Indian students who came to the UK last year brought with them 24,916 dependants, while 114,837 Chinese students came to Britain with 401 dependants.
"In the other top 5 nationalities, Nigerian nationals saw the largest relative increase in Sponsored Study grants compared with 2019, increasing by 57,545 to a record high of 65,929, making them the third largest nationality group in the latest year," Home office said.
