UK visa restrictions could affect Trinidadians

The Financial Times is reporting that Trinidad and Tobago is among the countries that could face tough visa restrictions from the United Kingdom because of immigration abuses by their nationals.

The Financial Times said Britain is set to deliver an ultimatum to 11 nations to address the problems within six months.

The abuses are said to include persistent overstaying by nationals of the countries, which include Trinidad and Tobago, Venezuela and South Africa.

Opponents of the plan have warned, however, of the risk to relations with key trading partners, and even undermining England's bid to host the 2018 football World Cup.
