The Home Office of the United Kingdom has announced that it had commenced the implementation of its policy banning overseas students from bringing in dependants via the study visa route.

In a post on X (formerly Twitter), the Home Office reiterated that only those on postgraduate research or government-sponsored scholarship students will be allowed to bring in dependents.

The move is part of measures being taken by the UK government to bring down immigration into the country which stands at about one million.
