The UK's immigration authorities have announced a new scheme to remind foreign nationals in the UK when their visa is close to expiry. The pilot scheme has already started.
The
Home Office will run the scheme in concert with the private sector
outsourcing firm Capita. Capita has run similar services for the Home
Office before and attracted criticism in the press for its
performance.
The
Home Office has randomly selected a proportion of those whose visas
are due to expire in June 2013. It has asked Capita to contact
everyone in this sample by letter, email or text message to remind
them that their visas will expire soon. The communication will advise
the selected visa holders to either apply for a new visa, for a visa
extension, or to prepare to leave the country.
Capita
will send a further reminder one month before each visa holder's visa
is due to expire and another seven days before the expiry date.
