New UK Visa Requirements For Visitors From Dominica and St Lucia

The UK border agency has announced that it may introduce visas to the
UK for visitors from Dominica and St Lucia, after analyzing the
results of a Visa Waiver Test on seven countries in the eastern
Caribbean.The Visa Waiver Test is carried out to determine the risk
that a specific countries' citizens potentially pose to the UK in
terms of illegal immigration, crime and security, to help decide where
visas to the UK may be required. It also helps the government
determine whether the visa regimes are in the right places.




The Test was announced in 2007 when travel from any country beyond the
European Economic Area and Switzerland was measured against a range of
criteria including illegal immigration, crime and security concerns. The
assessment found that there was a need for introducing visas to the UK for
a number of currently visa free countries, based on the current level of
risk posed to the UK by sufficient numbers of their nationals. A UK visa
regime is a simple but very effective immigration, crime and security
control measure.




In this case results of the test showed a strong case for introducing
visas to the UK for citizens of Dominica and St Lucia. The UK government
will now work with these two countries and try to resolve the its concerns
during a six-month period.The final decision on visitor visa regimes will
be taken until the end of the six-month period after all relevant factors
that concern both sides are considered.
