UK Visa Income Rules Separate Families, Charities Call for Change

United Kingdom

#familyvisa

#policy

Thousands of children in the UK face separation from their parents due to strict visa income rules. British citizens must earn £29,000 annually to sponsor a non-UK spouse.

The Migration Advisory Committee (MAC) is reviewing plans to increase this to £38,700 by 2025. Research by Reunite Families UK highlights the harm to children, with 85% citing income rules as a barrier. Families face poverty, isolation, and mental health struggles.

Examples include a father separated from his Tanzanian partner and baby, and a mother alone in the UK while her family remains in South Africa. Charities urge the MAC to revise these “cruel” policies.

#schengen

A survey found that 62% of Polish respondents support reintroducing EU border controls to curb irregular migration. Only 23% opposed it, while 15% had no opinion. Germany recently rejected a stricter immigration bill and plans to impose permanent border controls.

Other Schengen nations, including Italy and Hungary, have also reinstated controls. Poland opposes both border controls and the EU migration pact, which requires migrant relocation.

Foreign Minister Sikorski called border checks a mistake, arguing control should be at external Schengen borders. Prime Minister Tusk firmly rejected forced migrant relocations, emphasizing Poland’s security efforts.

Kenya

#fraud

Kenya’s Ministry of Foreign and Diaspora Affairs has warned citizens about rising visa fraud and fake job offers. Many have been scammed while applying for visas.

The ministry urged Kenyans to use official websites and conduct due diligence before seeking jobs abroad. Visa applications are personal and do not require agents. Overstaying a visa is illegal and can lead to fines, imprisonment, or deportation.

Kenya’s Missions abroad are available to assist job seekers. Fraudulent agencies continue to exploit job seekers, with many losing large sums. Social media scams targeting desperate job seekers remain a major concern.

Berlin Protest Condemns CDU’s Far-Right Immigration Push

Germany

#immigration

Thousands gathered in Berlin to protest the CDU’s collaboration with the far-right AfD on anti-immigration policies. Police estimated at least 20,000 attendees, and the number is rising.

The CDU, led by Friedrich Merz, broke Germany’s post-WWII norm by seeking AfD’s support. A non-binding resolution to block undocumented migrants passed, but a stricter immigration bill failed.

Protests also took place in Hamburg, Leipzig, and other cities. Organizers, including NGOs and unions, denounced the CDU’s shift. Chancellor Olaf Scholz warned that conservatives and the far right might soon govern together, following trends seen in other countries.
