Two more Lankans face 10-year travel ban to UK
Two Sri Lankan visa applicants have been arrested in the last two weeks for using forged and false identities to apply for UK visas. They were referred by the UK Border Agency to the CID in Colombo. The visa applicants were applying for settlement and student dependant visas. The two visa applications have been refused and the applicants will have a 10 year ban on travel to the UK. In addition, they now face prosecution for their actions.
The British HC quoted UK Border Agency Entry Clearance Manager, Claire Murray as having said:
"We will not tolerate the abuse of the UK’s immigration rules. Where we see abuse, we will take action against those involved. I would strongly advise visa applicants not to submit false documents and not to use false identities or other forms of deception."
The UK Border Agency uncovered this deception because it takes biometric data from customers as an integral part of the visa application process.
