The United Kingdom has banned Health and Care Workers from bringing dependants to the country.
A statement by the UK Home Office via its official X handle on Monday, explained that it was part of measures to to reduce migration into the country.
The post reads, “From today, care workers entering the UK on Health and Care Worker visas can no longer bring dependants.
“This is part of our plan to deliver the biggest ever cut in migration.”
The decision follows a report that overseas care workers brought an estimated 120,000 dependants to the UK in the year ending September 23.
Recall that the Home Office of the United Kingdom on Tuesday, Jan 2, announced the commencement of the implementation of its policy banning Nigerian students and other overseas students from bringing in dependants through the study visa route.
