YouTubers are coaching potential migrants on the best way to win free charity visas into Britain using a little-known scheme, it has been revealed.
The Times reported that YouTube and TikTok videos from several content creators advised people wanting to enter the UK to seek out charity visas, and use them as 'leverage' to bring dependants into the UK.
Charity visas are one type of permission that allowed people from outside the UK to come in and volunteer for up to 12 months.
While migrants are unable to earn money on these visas, online influencers have said that they can still bring dependants to the UK who can work and earn money with the long-term aim of settling.
One YouTuber who described himself as a 'lifestyle and relocation content creator', Kelvin Ossai, said in a video that was viewed 23,000 that dependants can work thanks to a 'catch' in the rules.
