Foreign workers and students from outside the European Union will have to pay £50 when they arrive in Britain to help ease the impact of their stay on public services.

The new "migrant tax," to be announced this week, will be levied on the thousands of immigrants applying for a work or study visas from non-EU states, from Australian bar staff to Rhodes scholars and Premiership footballers.

It is expected to raise £70 million over the next few years, with the funds earmarked for councils struggling to cope with the impact of mass immigration on services such as doctors' surgeries and schools.
