According to latest data, more than 1,42,000 students were granted a student visa in 2022. This was 54% higher than the previous years. More than 72% of dependent visas were offered to Nigerian and Indian citizens. Indian students are now travelling to foreign countries extensively for higher education which is why the number of dependent visas is also increasing. The number of dependent visas issued to Indian citizens in 2022 has increased by 50%. More than 4000 short-term visas were also granted to Indian students for smaller programs. Due to higher immigration levels, everything has become extremely expensive in the UK. There is a shortage of supply as compared to demand. To solve this problem, the UK has decided to put a restriction on the dependent visas issued to immigrants.
