British High Commission Reacts To Report On Visa Restrictions For Nigerians And Others For Overstaying Their Visas

The UK Home Office identified Pakistan, Nigeria, and Sri Lanka as countries whose nationals frequently overstay visas and seek asylum.
As a result, the UK may impose tougher visa conditions for work or study applications from these countries to tighten immigration controls.
The British High Commission in Nigeria emphasized their commitment to responsible migration management while maintaining strong bilateral ties and cooperation on irregular migration.
Recent UK immigration reforms have prompted some Nigerians to explore alternative destinations like the US, which also has implemented stricter visa policies.
