5. UK Government will reduce the rate of illegal immigrants in the country.
Illegal immigration in the UK is going very high and the UK government is set to take critical measures towards it by making a lot of immigration rules for illegal immigrants in 2023. For that those that are planning to change their tier 4 visa and stay illegally in the UK should think again.
One of the ways dey ensure in doing this is;
To ensure that a new border security system (known as E-border) is implemented and making it very difficult for people to illegally enter the UK and these are the people that come in through Greece, France, and some other neighboring countries. This E-border uses biometrics and facial recognition to identify people who are trying to enter the country without a valid passport or visa.
6. Uk Government will increase detention center
This detention center will be used to detain illegal immigrants and will introduce a new system to speed up their deportation process to a say 3rd country.

A lot of things are going to be changed in 2023 and the cost of leaving will be very high. All these listed above are things you need to know before moving into the UK this 2023
