In a move aimed at reducing migration, the United Kingdom has initiated a policy that bans international students from bringing their dependents via the study visa route. This aims to tackle what the government perceives as a misuse of the visa system and to align immigration numbers with national interests.
The report further mentions that postgraduate research or government-funded scholarship students will be excluded from the policy. In 2023, Incognito Blog reported on the plan by the UK Government to implement additional fees for visa free nationals.
