Talk:Visa policy of the United Kingdom

Edit war

@58.96.107.130: Why not instead of edit warring we discuss the issue. Here is the relevant text: "On 23 June 2016, the British electorate voted to leave the European Union in a nationwide referendum. It is expected that the UK will invoke Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty and leave the European Union within two years, meaning at that stage, British passport holders will cease to be EU citizens and EU citizens would also cease to have EU rights in Britain." Do you have a reliable source to support this statement? Otherwise unverified content may be removed per WP:BURDEN. Sro23 (talk) 01:33, 9 July 2016 (UTC)

About SARs of China

Hong Kong and Macau are special administrative regions of China which means there are no "nationals" or "citizens" in those areas, Hong Kong SAR and Macau SAR passport holders are all Chinese citizens [1]. As a reasult, instead of "Hong Kong" and "Macau", "Hong Kong, China" and "Macau, China" should be used.--Whisper of the heart 19:39, 8 November 2016 (UTC)

Copied Text for the Purpose of Merging Pages

I think that this will create a more cohesive and page where people can find infornation the complete immigration system rather than fragmented pages that only give only cover part of the topic.

It appears that this was resolved in May 2020. A new merge proposal has appeared at the top of the page dated Dec 2020, but no such new discussion seems to exist, so I intend to delete the merge template from the top of the page.
Nevertheless, I'll give my 2p: It is standard across Wikipedia for each country to have a "Visa policy of xx" page. What all of these pages have in common is that they focus on entry clearance for short-term visits. The UK in particular has a clear distinction between "visas" for short-term entry and "residence permits" for long-term immigration status. The topic of immigration statuses is vast, complex and almost entirely unrelated to general permission to enter the UK with/without a visa. I believe these pages should remain separate and that any irrelevant information about immigration status should be moved to Immigration policy of the United Kingdom. The immigration policy of the United Kingdom page requires significant work, but that is a separate issue!
