A Linden man, who is among the first group of travellers to the United Kingdom since the lifting of the visa requirement, was denied entry on arrival.
Immigration officers at the Heathrow Airport in London denied Teon Hope entry on the grounds that they were unsatisfied with amount of money he had in his possession for his length of stay.
According to his sister, Yusiny Joungaye, who moved to the UK in 2018 to work in the health sector, the immigration officer, who she spoke with said “they have no issue with my support for him, they were just not happy with the amount of money he travelled with the fact that he didn’t have his business documents with him”.
