The United Kingdom Home Office has announced the commencement of the implementation of its policy banning Nigerian students and other overseas students from bringing in dependants via the study visa route.
This was made known on Monday in a post on X (formerly Twitter).
The Home Office stated that only those on postgraduate research or government-sponsored scholarship students will be exempted from the development.
“We are fully committed to seeing a decisive cut in migration. From today, new overseas students will no longer be able to bring family members to the UK. Postgraduate research or government-funded scholarships students will be exempt,” the Home Office said.
