Foreigners banned from retiring to Britain

and


From the end of this month, both the intended bride and groom will have to be 21 – up from 18 – before a marriage visa can be granted.

The move comes as part of Government efforts to stop teenagers being brought to the UK against their wills and made to marry.

Looks like no destination weddings for the very young then.

'However, there are concerns that countries like New Zealand, Australia and America will retaliate by imposing similar restrictions of their own, affecting thousands of Britons"


Errr..there was not a 'retirement' visa to the US, so how can there by retaliation? And the B1/B2 does not give a path to PR or citizenship that I'm aware of.
