UK to prohibit students from Nigeria and other nations from bringing family over

The UK is about to disclose new limitations that would likely prevent students from Nigeria and other countries from studying in the UK from bringing their family with them.

This crackdown will be announced this week, according to an exclusive revelation by The Sun UK.

During the crackdown, all master’s students and many other post-graduates will be prohibited from inviting family members over.

The UK media outlet House claimed that PHD students, whose programs typically run between three and five years and need a high level of skill, will not be subject to the prohibition.

The Prime Minister, Rishi Sunak, was reportedly asked by Tory MPs to “get a grip on the rocketing numbers” following reports that net migration to the UK had risen to 1 million.

UK ministers are reportedly planning to unveil the immigration crackdown on Tuesday or Wednesday in an effort to stem the tide of rising numbers.

According to The Sun, “Rishi Sunak is anticipated to come out fighting on immigration, pointing out that these are numbers he inherited as they go back to the year ending in December 2022, two months after he was elected prime minister.

“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.”

“We have got to get a grip,” a Tory MP told The Sun on Sunday.
