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.
What a load of rubbish!!!!
How many mauritians have you known to hit the headlines for murder, robberies, assault and rape??? Treated fairly??? Mauriritians have always been treated as cheap and people from low class here!!! Why don`t you ask the Bristish to queue up and get a visia to come to Mauritius where they show off??
Are you kidding me. I think it’s the best thing that the british authority can do. By doing so they can sort out those who are geuinely going to the UK as tourist or to visit their families or as students. because of illegaly and clandestine visitors,other genuine cases are being penalised and it was great time for thuis bullshit to cease.I don not advise anyone to stay illegal in a country because it always result in abuses by employesr and unscrupulous agents who explots the illegal aliens.I am thrilled at the idea that the genuine cases will be able to apply for a work visa. Think about it.when people from India Bangladesh, phillipines and you name go to Mauritius to work for less than what Mauritian would earn, it hurts..so stop bitching because the brits are also facing the same situation with illegal aliens working for peanut butter and living in precarious conditions..
one Mauritian was even linked to terrorism dude.so stop bullshitting….one mauritian is facing extradition for extortion and embezzlement…Mauritians are no angel….like you are pretending….
lol…so you think the brits would line up infront of the Mauritian embassy to get a visa to bring money to the Mauritian economy and sustain the tourism industry…are you nuts or something….if such were to be the case..they would all fly to the states and take a cruise to the caribean for much less cheaper than going to Mauritius…and dude….Mauritius is not the only country to have beautiful beaches..Nowadays you can easily get murdered or rape if you are a woman on your mauritian beaches even in broad day light…i just came back from there and i have never ever spent such a dull vacation in my whole life..It scared the shit out of me to roam the street of the Capital at night…and going to the beach on your own is not advisabe anymore…so stop talking shit…be grateful to the brits for sustaining our economy by buying our textiles, sugar and allowing nurses to work in the Uk for you to be able to while like you are right now…

i think mauritius must also impose a law that all tourist must have visa 2 come to mauritius. Because when we want to go to uk we need visa , we are treated as if we are terorist. Bane la bombarde nous are question. Nou gagne maltraiter.
La loi a maurice pas assez severe mo penser ti bizin renforci system immigration n visa !!!!!!
No you are not treated as terrorist….you are treated as a potential illegal alien becauase so many of your people do go their as student and ends up disappearing in nature and becomes illegal aliens…imposing visas on tourist from the UK…are you crazy….the brits could care less..they have money and can go elsewhere…mauritius is not the only country in the world that have beaches..yeah you can get raped on Mauritian beaches even in broad day light..or have all your personal belongings stolen…sorry to say …but the paradise is dead.
