Nigeria, India, Pakistan and other High risk countries will have to pay a £3,000 fee to visit UK

Visitors from Nigeria and other "high risk" countries in Asia and Africa will be forced to pay a £3,000 cash bond before they can enter United Kingdom.
From November, a pilot scheme will target visitors from India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Nigeria and Ghana who will have to pay the UK government a form of cash guarantee or deposit to deter immigration
abuse. They will forfeit the £3,000 if they overstay in Britain and fail to return to their home countries by the time their visa has expired.
The controversial move by the UK home secretary, Theresa May, to introduce the Australian-style system reflects her determination to show that the Conservatives are serious about cutting immigration in the UK.
Ms May said: "This is the next step in making sure our immigration system is more selective, bringing down net migration from the hundreds of thousands to the tens of thousands, while still welcoming the brightest and the best to Britain."
She added: "In the long run we're interested in a system of bonds that deters overstaying and recovers costs if a foreign national has used our public services."
 The Home Office is targeting countries which have high volumes of visitor visa applications and what it deems to be relatively high levels of fraud and abuse.
Trust me...3000 pounds is even too small...If Nigerians can pay 700,000 or more Naira for visa "runs"....how much is 3000 pounds..., why them no make am 10000 pounds and see who will be the first to.
