Nigeria Among ‘High-risk’ Nations to Pay £3,000 Cash Bond for UK Visit

According to a Sunday Times report, visitors from Nigeria to the United Kingdom 

may be forced to pay a hefty cash bond of  £3,000 starting from November, before they can enter the UK. The report stated that the move will target  at least five other African and Asian countries including Ghana, Pakistan, India, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka. The scheme which will initially target hundreds of visitors will be extended to several thousands in the near future. The move will also make tourists aged 18 and above to pay the cash bond for a 6-month visit visa which will be forfeited once they overstayed their visit in Great Britain.
