"Reform UK is preparing to outline a strict new immigration strategy that would restrict visa access to countries that refuse to cooperate with British deportation requests. The proposals are expected to be announced by the Shadow Home Secretary Zia Yusuf as part of a policy package called Operation Restoring Justice, which aims to reduce net migration by increasing departures from the UK."
"Officials say the policy would extend beyond measures already discussed by the Government, which previously considered visa restrictions against a small number of African states over deportation compliance. Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood had warned last year that citizens from countries including Angola, Namibia and the Democratic Republic of the Congo could face entry restrictions without improved cooperation. Several of those countries subsequently agreed to work with UK authorities."
"Reform UK says its approach targets what it describes as systemic failures in immigration enforcement. Party figures have highlighted Home Office data suggesting that nationals from several countries account for a large proportion of unresolved removal cases, including people from: The party also claims Pakistani nationals are statistically more likely to remain in the UK beyond their permitted visa period. The strategy includes offering asylum seekers £2,500 to leave Britain voluntarily, aiming to create a fairer process that benefits both migrants and the community."
Reform UK will introduce Operation Restoring Justice, a strict immigration strategy aimed at reducing net migration by increasing departures. The plan would restrict or suspend visa issuance to countries that refuse deportation cooperation, naming Pakistan, Afghanistan and Syria among potential targets. The strategy aims to apply stronger diplomatic pressure and to go beyond current government measures on deportation compliance. Party figures cite Home Office data on unresolved removal cases and statistical patterns of overstaying among Pakistani nationals. The package includes offering asylum seekers £2,500 to leave the UK voluntarily and encouragement of returns to home countries or third-party relocation destinations.
