Foreigners should be charged £10 to buy a visa to get into the UK once Britain has left the EU, the Government has been told.

A 14 page report submitted to ministers by a leading group of Tory Eurosceptic MPs urges them to adopt a visa scheme similar to those operating in Australia and the USA to allow visitors from the European Union and other countries to make multiple visits to the UK over a two year period.

The report by the European Reform Group of 100 Tory MPs is being considered by ministers. The group’s work has previously been used to pitch roll for Government policy.

Next month the Government will publish an immigration white paper setting out immigrants will be treated after Brexit. However the paper will not go into detail into visa arrangements after Brexit.

The ERG report, prepared by Tory MP Craig Mackinlay, says Britain should adopt a similar plan to the US which charges US$14 (£10) for a visa waiver that allows multiple entry over two years. The Australian visitor visa costs Aus$20 (£11).

It says: “We could adopt the US system and apply it to a visa waiver scheme for visitors from the EU and other countries we have a visa waiver programme with. Such schemes are commonplace internationally."
