A long and expensive visa route for immigrants has been called “racist” after most applicants who feel forced to go through it were found to be people of colour.

The “10-year route” visa is used by hundreds of thousands of people not eligible for other immigration schemes because of a lack of income or professional qualifications. Many work in low-paid jobs. Other common routes to settlement in the UK take five years.
