Changes to grant non-visa national status to Colombia, Guyana, and Peru
Citizens of Colombia, Guyana, and Peru are being made non-visa nationals to enter the UK as visitors.
This means they will no longer have to obtain a visit visa before coming to the UK and can be examined and granted entry on arrival.
The risk of immigration abuse and criminality from these countries has consistently fallen in the last five years. Additionally, there are significant potential rewards for granting these nationalities non-visa national status, such as improved trade, diplomatic relations, and tourism.
