Metro53 - London (Web Desk) – The government of the United Kingdom has announced the suspension of student visas for four countries.
According to British media reports, student visas for nationals of Afghanistan, Sudan, Cameroon, and Myanmar have been suspended. Authorities have also issued warnings that additional countries could face similar visa restrictions.
Reports further state that work visas for Afghan nationals are also being phased out.
The UK Home Secretary announced measures to restore border control and introduced an emergency brake on visa misuse. Media outlets suggest that an unusual surge in asylum applications has been cited as a key reason behind the suspension.
The move has sparked concern among affected students and applicants, as diplomatic and education sectors closely monitor further developments.
