    EU citizens offered financial incentives to leave UK

    “ European nationals added to voluntary returns scheme, which can include flights and up to £2,000 for resettlement

    EU citizens are being offered financial incentives to leave the UK, the Guardian has learned, months before the deadline to apply for settled status has passed.

    From 1 January EU citizens have quietly been added to the government’s voluntary returns scheme where financial support is offered as an encouragement to return to their country of origin.

    Payments can include flights and up to £2,000 resettlement money. The scheme is designed to help some migrants in the UK to leave voluntarily.“

      Russians aren't EU citizens so I suspect loads have got British or EU passports unless they are Putin's good friends...

              Or they bought EU passports

              Buying an EU passport 'no use for evading sanctions'

              Malta has also been selling passports en masse to Russian tycoons.
              So aTw you a Tycoon?

              I used to work with a load of Venezuelans who had grandfathered Portuguese passports.

                No that is sort of a mainland tradition we fought against it.

                    Sadly it seems they are still out there.
