Northern (N): General (N). UK Visa Policy for Eastern Europe

1964

A file of correspondence and reports concerning the issuing of British visas to visitors from the communist bloc. The correspondence covers current policy on the issuing of visas; the need for possible improvements and modifications to the current system; and a paper outlining the procedures to be followed by sponsors in the U.K. who wish to bring over relatives from the Soviet Union for permanent residence or for a visit. Further correspondence responds to a request that visas be granted at local discretion, in connection with visits by delegates and officials of East European commodity councils travelling to Britain to attend meetings of the councils. The file also includes correspondence from a British businessman highlighting the difficulties in conducting trade with East European countries, due to delays in the issuing of visas for business travellers.
