Vietnamese Illegal Migration to the UK: Raising Awareness of the Harsh Realities

Written By Vietnamese Family Partnership

Hear from our CEO and founder and others in the Vietnamese community as they raise awareness of the realities of illegal migration to the UK, shedding light on the harsh truths and unglamourous aspect of the risks an increasing number of Vietnamese people are taking in hope to find a better life.

The UK is securing its borders by imposing some of the strictest immigration laws in Europe. Government enforcement has increased significantly, with record numbers of removals and new reforms designed to speed up the process even further.

  • Nearly 60,000 illegal migrants and foreign criminals have been returned since the election – up 31%

  • Illegal working enforcement is at an all time high

  • 2025 saw over 9,000 arrests linked to illegal work, and

  • 12,750+ enforcement visits took place across the UK

Entering, staying, or working in the UK without legal permission carries major legal, financial, and personal risks. Our latest video breaks down immigration enforcement changes, the challenges people face without legal status, and where to find trusted information and support.

Watch now to stay informed and share with your family and friends to help ensure this message reaches those who may be considering dangerous routes. Every conversation could help prevent the exploitation of vulnerable people through criminal networks and potentially save a life.
