Which country has recently announced the termination of Tier 1 Investor Visa, also known as Golden Visa?
A)
France
B)
United Kingdom
C)
United States
D)
United Kingdom

Correct Answer : Option (B) - United Kingdom

Note : The Home Secretary has taken decisive action to shut the Tier 1 Investor visa route to all new applicants from all nationalities with immediate effect.

 
The route had allowed entry and stay in the UK if an applicant invested funds in share capital or loan capital in active and trading UK registered companies.
 
It has been under constant review and some cases had given rise to security concerns, including people acquiring their wealth illegitimately and being associated with wider corruption.
 
While work has been done to reform the route in order to prevent abuse, the Home Office has acted to close it today(17th Feb 2022).
 
This demonstrates the government’s New Plan for Immigration in action – being firm against those wanting to abuse the immigration system while those who want to come to the UK and play by the rules will have that opportunity.
 
The Home Office will be making reforms to the Innovator route, part of the new points-based immigration system, to provide an ambitious investment route which works more effectively in support of the UK’s economy.  .

The exercise　is scheduled to be held between March 6 and 27.
 
The IAF said on February 23 that five Tejas fighters would fly out to the United Kingdom. An IAF, C-17　Globemaster III military transport aircraft, with support from two C-130Js will provide the necessary transport support for the induction and de-induction of Tejas and also ferry maintenance crew and ground equipment.
 
Stated the IAF :　"The exercise is aimed at providing operational exposure and share best practices amongst the participating air forces, thereby enhancing combat capability and forging bonds of friendship. This will be a platform for LCA Tejas to demonstrate its　manoeuvrability　and operational capability."..
