Amendment 192 sets out clear restrictions on visas and the granting of indefinite leave to remain. It requires that applicants, including those on spousal visas, must not draw on social protection, including housing and benefits, as defined in the Treasury’s public expenditure statistical analysis. It also requires that an applicant’s annual income must not fall below £38,700 for six months or more during the qualification period. If these conditions are breached, the visa is void. We want those who come here to be self-sufficient and economically independent and to contribute to the society that they wish to join.
