Point System For Mauritians coming to UK
British Authorities intend to reintroduce Visas as entry prerequisites to the United Kingdom for all Mauritian citizens. This follows an increase in the number of illegal immigration cases.
This decision follows a Visa Waiver Test carried out last week by the British government which threatens to add Mauritius and nine other countries to the list of the 100 or so countries requiring an entry Visa to UK.
“We are closely monitoring the situation jointly with the Government of Mauritius and if by the end of this year, a notable decrease in the number of abuses and attempts of illegal immigration is not noted we will impose an entry Visa to Mauritian citizens,” John Murton, British High Commissioner said on Wednesday at the BHC.
According to Murton, there is a real problem concerning the security of official documents. “There are numerous cases of document forgeries such as birth certificates, marriage certificates and passports. Moreover a notable increase in the number of cases where Mauritian citizens have entered UK as students or tourists but have instead started working has also been observed,” he says.
In the same vein the British Vice-Consul, Steven Phettigrew, stated that many cases of forgeries have hopefully been uncovered. He added that a new digital recognition system will be set up to scan process every entry request to the UK.
John Murton also announced the introduction of a point system for those desiring to work or study in the UK. The aim is to ensure the transparency of procedures and allow every candidate to evaluate his own chances of obtaining a Visa.
