UK bans visas for nationals from Afghanistan, Cameroon, Myanmar, and Sudan to curb asylum abuse

The UK is implementing an unprecedented visa ban for nationals from Afghanistan, Cameroon, Myanmar, and Sudan to curb asylum abuse. This measure halts study visas for these countries and work visas for Afghans, citing exploitation of legal routes for asylum claims. The government states this is the first time such bans have been used, aiming to prevent abuse of the UK's asylum system.
