UK eases visa rules for foreign prison officers from Nigeria, Ghana to avoid staffing crisis.
The UK has granted temporary visa exemptions to foreign prison officers from nations like Nigeria and Ghana to prevent a staffing crisis, allowing them to stay and work under a lower £33,400 salary threshold until 2027.
The move, effective until the end of 2026, applies only to those already in the country and follows warnings from prison inspectors and unions about risks to safety and stability.
The change comes amid pressure to balance migration control with public safety, as the previous £41,700 salary requirement threatened to displace over 2,500 overseas recruits.
The government says the exemption provides time to boost domestic recruitment while maintaining critical prison operations.
