GOVERNMENT and other people have expressed concern about a decision taken by the UK government, requiring all TT nationals to have a visa before they can travel to the UK.
Information provided by the British High Commission suggested some of those seeking asylum could be people with criminal records and their families.
In a statement on March 12, the British High Commission said, "The decision to introduce a visa requirement has been taken due to a significant increase in the number of TT nationals coming to the UK as visitors only to claim asylum on arrival, constituting a misuse of the immigration system."
