The Sunday Times newspaper stated that from November, a pilot scheme would target visitors from these three countries plus Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and Ghana.
Site visitors aged 18 and over would certainly be forced to hand over £3,000 ($4,600, 3,500euros from November for a six-month visiting visa.
They will certainly surrender the money if they overstay in Britain after their visa has expired.
The system will target hundreds of visitors; however the strategy is to extend it to several thousand, according to the broadsheet’s front-page report.
It was pointed out the move by Home Secretary Theresa May is designed to show that Prime Minister David Cameron’s Conservative Party is severe regarding reducing migration and misuses of the system.
The populist United Kingdom Independence Party has actually been trespassing on the Conservatives’ traditional core vote in recent times.
Cameron desires annual net migration down listed below 100,000 by 2015.
“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,” May was quoted as saying.
“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.”
A Home Office authorities pointed out the 6 nations highlighted were those with “the most significant risk of abuse”. Last year 296,000 people provided 6-month visas were from India, 101,000 from Nigeria, 53,000 from Pakistan and 14,000 each were from Sri Lanka and Bangladesh.
