The Indian government have made an appeal to the British
Prime Minister, Theresa May to relax her visa policy in favour of Indian
applicants.
The PM travelled to Delhi to open more doors for trade deals
with the country when the UK finally leaves the EU. According to her, the UK is
making progress in attracting the best possible trade deals outside the EU.
though in her reaction to the visa request made by the
Indian government, May said "Nine out of 10 visa applications from India
are already accepted,"
But she said the UK could give ground if Indians who
overstayed their visas could be returned more swiftly.
“The UK will consider further improvements to our visa offer
if, at the same time, we can step up the speed and volume of returns of Indians
with no right to remain," she told reporters.
She also stated how ready her government desires to help
wealthy Indian entrepreneurs to come to the UK to invest. Saying that those
high-net-worth individuals along with members of their families will have
entrance to the Great Club, which make their UK visa application hitch free.
Theresa May also assured thousands of Indians who are on
work visa that they could also be part of the Registered Travellers Scheme
which will mean they can get through UK border controls more quickly.
"As we leave the EU, we want to ensure that the UK
remains one of the most attractive countries in the world to do business and
invest."
