jim_supra Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 Getting a holiday visa for the U.K. is quite difficult apparently:d From the BBC website; UK tourist visas are often denied to would-be visitors because they "plan a holiday for no particular purpose other than sightseeing", a report says. and a common reason for refusal was "you wish to go to the UK for a holiday. You have never previously undertaken any foreign travel before and I can see little reason for this trip". See the main article for more idiotic reasons, link below; http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/6768405.stm This 'Great' Britain can't seem to do anything right!

AndrewOW Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 So you noticed this article too then?! I was going to post it, but thought otherwise. What I can't believe its based on 2006, and not the 50's/60's etc! You can move here for no better reason than wanting to use the NHS/DSS, but just for a holiday. Sod off!

Pete Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 Isn't this to try and lock down people coming on holiday and not going home? Or have I skim read this and got it all wrong again? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought that was the jist of it, but sadly with most of these measures, the good are penalised as well as the bad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skim read Pete, This is just about people being refused a normal travel Visa to this country for no good reason whatsoever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbonut Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 Ludicrous Particularly when measured against the governments almost nonexistent/flimsy/confused policies on immigration - not that I'm stirring or anything..... its probably easier to come in as an economic migrant L Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 It's always 'outrage' and immigration stories on here lately. The Daily Mail probably feels like 'an informed read' compared to this place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
