If we leave the EU or even if we stay I’d want to use visa and contribution rules to control our borders…
- Track exits from our borders as well as arrivals. So we know who is in the country.
- Anyone would be able to visit with a simple visitors visa for up to 90 days a year. They could work during this time if they wanted
- Anyone spending longer than that 90 days a year would need to have a work or compassionate visa.
- All visas would be only granted on the basis that the applicant was a lawful citizen. That they posed no risk to the country. Any visa could be denied or revoked if that assessment changed.
- Work visas would only be granted only if the role has previously offered for 6 months to citizens.
- There would be quotas and point systems for work and compassionate visas. Anyone applying for a work or compassionate visa would need a sponsor/guarantor. The sponsor/guarantor would be held accountable if that person overstayed or broke the law or was unable to support themselves. The sponsor/guarantor would need to be a citizen
- Benefits would only be paid to those who had paid national insurance in this country for 48 months cumulatively not continuously), or who’s parents had.
