Asylum Claims Surge Among Work Visa Holders
Update: 2025-12-25
Description
Record surge in asylum claims by foreign nationals on work visas in the UK, exposing a loophole in border controls. Over 13,000 claims last year, with a sharp rise from the previous year. Work visa holders, students, and visitors also filing claims, making up nearly 40% of total applications. Critics accuse migrants of exploiting entry routes for refugee status. Home Office responds by pulling ETA for certain countries and imposing visa requirements, leading to a 93% drop in asylum numbers.
