    Nearly 18,000 British families are being hit each year by draconian financial immigration requirements put in place by the Government three years ago.

    The rules are adding to the growing disenchantment felt among expatriates at the treatment they are receiving from the Government in London.

    Last month Telegraph Expat disclosed that ministers had reneged on a promise to allow expats who had paid into the NHS for decades access to free health service care if they fell ill during a trip back home. Instead they face a punitive 50 per cent surcharge on the cost of any treatment.

    Now the Government is being accused of putting unreasonable obstacles in the way of Britons who want to return home with their spouses if the spouse does not hold a European Economic Area passport.
