Tourist and business visitors will benefit from the following changes:
Allowing tourists and business visitors to do some study where it is not the main purpose of their visit.
Expanding the activities a business visitor can do in the UK.
Removing the prospective student route.

Further changes affect points-based system and family routes, and include provision for participants and personnel of the 2014 Commonwealth Games and locally engaged staff in Afghanistan.
