UK citizens abandoning the UK in the greater numbers
Increasing numbers of people are taking the decision to move overseas as a result of the UKs current immigration policy, specialist immigration consultancy, www.globalvisas.com has announced.
The consultancy provides immigration advice and visa services and in doing so has found that as numbers of immigrants to the UK from the new European Union Accession states continue to grow, more and more people in the UK are choosing to take their experience and skills overseas.
In catering for immigrants to the UK as well as British people who wish to emigrate to the USA, Australia, New Zealand, Canada or South Africa, the company has recorded a dramatic increase in British people applying to leave the UK.
Director Liam Clifford says: “Since January 2007, we have recorded an 80% rise in British nationals applying to move overseas. As this rise continues, so does the number of enquiries we receive from people asking for help in migrating to a new country. In recent months, we have received as many as 4,000 requests in a single week from people who have had enough of Britain and want to get out.”
