UK Visa Issues in the Premier League
In the past we have seen a number of foreign footballer's experience visa issues. The latest story in 2011 so far has been Manchester City's newest signing Bosnian Edin Dzeko after he experienced some UK VISA Issues.
His 27 Million Pound deal with Manchester City could fall away unless he secures the necessary papers which according to sources were missing when he arrived in the UK on Wednesday.
In general visa applications can take up to 28 days to process and the concern for the striker is that the transfer window closes on January 31.

Review from IPPR claims UK Immigration to rise in 2010/11
The Institute for Public Policy Research (IPPR) has claimed in its Migration Review 2010-2011 that the UK Govt's plans on reducing the number of Net Migration is bound to be a failure.
The review has also reported that the UK Govt used deceptive tactics with regard to Student Visas. In the UK there has been a steadily growing number of International Students and the UK Govt plans to reduce the total number of Students too, however the consultation on Tier 4 UK STUDENT VISA is still underway and a reduction in Tier 4 Applications is highly unlikely in 2011.
With regard to the Immigration Cap on Skilled Migrants the report stated that the UK Public DO NOT perceive these Migrants as an Issue.
Taking into account the Financial Situation across Europe and the Irish Financial Collapse there is serious concern on the numbers of Migrants from these areas entering into the UK. One thing looks certain though the UK govt will come under fire from all sides with regard to the immigration policies and pledges they have made.
