NEW DELHI, 24 JUNE: The Confederation of Indian Industry has described as highly discriminatory, the suggested changes to the UK visa procedure including a security bond of 3,000 pounds for visitors from certain countries.
“We share UK&’s concern on illegal immigration but surely there are other more effective and non-discriminatory ways to put a check on it,” CII said in a statement issued here today.
It said that adding such blanket rules for visas will negatively affect not only businesses, especially small businesses, but will also further bring down the number of students going to UK for higher studies and affect the tourism inflow from India to UK. This will also not help the cause of early conclusion of EU-India FTA, for which both the parties are committed, the statement said. sns
