The United States Mission in Nigeria has restated that corrupt high-profile Nigerian officials could face U.S. visa bans under its anti-corruption policy. In a post on X, the mission emphasized that accountability applies to all individuals regardless of their position. It noted that corruption by influential figures can result in denial of U.S. visas, underscoring that the consequences extend beyond domestic legal action and could affect international travel.
In the United Kingdom, Reform UK has proposed major immigration reforms that would eliminate the pathway to permanent residency for many migrants. Party leader Nigel Farage said that if elected, the party would abolish Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR), which currently grants permanent residency after five years.
Under the proposal, migrants would be required to reapply for visas every five years. The plan also includes tougher requirements such as higher salary thresholds, stricter English language standards, and tighter rules for bringing dependents. Access to welfare benefits and permanent settlement would be restricted, while current ILR holders might also be compelled to reapply under the new conditions.
