Interesting.

Britain will always have the upper hand within the commonwealth, and with brexit, African commonwealth countries stand cut off from the European market since they accessed it through UK.

Hmm,heard this info from a close friend in London.But the irony is that u still need visa if going for studies!This only applies to fun/vacation seekers.PM Theresa May,very smart move from u...She knows we have a lot of looters n criminals in Africa ready to spend their money in the UK!!!

Very uninformed post I must say. I repeat this can never happen.

The visitor visa regardless of tenure (6months, 1yr , 2yr, 5yr,10yrs visa) gives you a maximum stay of 6months without course to work or public funds. (Multiple entries but on each entry you cannot say more than 6months unless you have a genuine reason and inform the authorities for extension).

How stupid can the UK be to come up with such policy when people pay hundreds of thousands to get a visa that can not even let you stay for more than 6months.

In that case no one would ever apply for a visa and enjoy such with no revenue going to the embassy.

This news is nowhere near any of the official websites of the uk but tied in the imagination of dreamers

Commonwealth UK visa-free travel hoax
15 Aug 2016 | Posted by Carl Thomas
The UK has confirmed that stories that people living in Commonwealth Nations would be permitted to travel to Britain without a UK visa are a hoax.
Numerous stories have recently been posted across social media and received hundreds of shares. They suggested that Prime Minister Theresa May had given the green light to a new system that would allow people from the 53 Commonwealth countries to travel freely to Britain without a visa.
It comes as the UK is starting to look at how it will deal with the visa-free travel arrangements that European Union citizens currently enjoy, following June’s vote to leave the EU.
However, it is unlikely that the UK will offer similar benefits to Commonwealth nations as EU citizens have at the moment. Bringing down migration numbers was a key issue in the EU Referendum and Mrs May, in her previous position as Home Secretary, was responsible for tough new regulations making it more difficult for people to obtain UK visas.
South African British High Commission spokeswoman, Isabel Potgieter, said: "We can confirm that no changes have been made to the UK’s visa regime for citizens of Commonwealth countries."
Ms Potgieter said that any South Africans who wanted to travel to the UK should check the information for their individual requirements.
The High Commission in South Africa unveiled a more straightforward UK visa application system for South African citizens earlier this year.
The Access UK online application service went live in May, to replace the old Visa4UK system. It has a shorter form and is simpler to complete because it generates questions based on the applicant’s previous answers. It is similar to new UK visa application systems that have already been rolled out in China and India to simplify the process.
