This is so the government can say "We've found no evidence of visa over-staying".

kind of interesting they complain about their treatment in Switzerland, yet as soon as they got they opportunity they
stayed permanently in ...... Switzerland!

That's expats for you.

Oh, we have our moments if the BBC is to be believed. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-63542636

Of course these parents who had to leave their kids behind weren't forced to go to Switzerland. Nor were they forced to continue working there.

They were. Hostels usually.

Hostels I have stayed in / visited were not hotel standard 40 years ago, think B&B with dorms.

I assumed they were in huts like Auf Wiedersen pet. That seems to be normal on big sites and road work. Though one PM ex colleague took his canal boat to a 2+ year site (he had it lifted and plonked in the local waterway then lifted again, re-plated and returned to its normal mooring. Worth every penny of the £1million plus extra sales he managed.

Well we are better at being inhuman to immigrants than the Swiss.

Are we going to put any age limits on the visas?

So we only get those under 45 for example so we get a good few years of working life out of them?

Demographics isn't on the UK's side.

Ageist!

[SueEllen]

Neither will happen. There will be some loophole to jump straight in to an ILR and all the infinite number of dependants that were allowed to come on this visa will also be allowed to stay. The system is so broken it's next to useless.

If you want to know the details on how to play the system and circumvent the rules they are available on the Immigration Board forum.

Just so long as they fck off back home afterwards. Also, let's ensure they can't bring children over - like the Swiss did with their visa system.

India, Russia's closest ally and one of Russia's main markets for its oil and weapons. Now the UK's closest ally...

Was great to meet PM
@RishiSunak
in Bali. India attaches great importance to robust ties. We discussed ways to increase commercial linkages, raise the scope of security cooperation in context of India’s defence reforms and make people-to-people ties even stronger.

WTF? India in bed with Russia and supporting Russia v Ukraine, two-way arms deal with Russia.

[Zigenare]

I wonder if he or his wife know of an Indian company that can supply these people and visas?



3,000 this year, then it will be deemed a "great success to solving the UK skills crisis" and extended to 30,000 followed by 300,000 visas.

Just so long as they fck off back home afterwards. Also, let's ensure they can't bring children over - like the Swiss did with their visa system.
