The British Home Secretary has said that many foreign students take study visas simply to get a work permit. James Cleverley has called for a review of the visa policy in this regard.
According to British media, the British Home Secretary says that many foreign students obtain graduate route visas only to reach their work visa destination more easily.
In a letter to the Migration Advisory Committee, James Cleverley wrote that we want to ensure that education visas are not misused. We will check that the student visa is being taken for education and not for immigration.
The UK allows foreigners to stay even if they are not offered by a local employer. However, they must have a graduate visa to stay in the UK for two years.
Britain’s home secretary has warned that the reputation of the country’s top universities might be damaged if evidence of misuse of study visas is found.
Referring to the annual report of the Migration Action Committee, James Cleverley said that most foreign students are enrolling in affordable universities. During 2021 and 2022, the number of such students has increased by 32 percent. Foreign students are able to participate in economic activities by ensuring a long stay in the country through educational visas.
