📢 Attention International Students! 🚨
The UK government has sent out a serious warning! Thousands of international students studying across the country, including our beautiful Wales, could face removal if they overstay their visas. This comes in response to a worrying rise in asylum claims from those on student visas that expire. 🎓
📬 Around 130,000 students and their families have been contacted with a clear message: Any asylum claims without strong grounds will be turned down swiftly. Support will only be offered to those who meet strict criteria. Those in breach of visa terms and without a legal right to stay must leave the country or risk being forcibly removed.
In 2024 alone, 16,000 asylum claims came from individuals who initially entered on student visas. With over 25,000 international students arriving in Wales annually, contributing a massive £1.43bn to our economy, this is BIG news! 📊
☝️ Remember, it’s crucial to stick to your visa conditions to enjoy the vibrant culture and rich history Wales offers. Keep an eye on your visa expiry date and understand the implications if you wish to extend your stay.
