Without warning, the UK has finally really restricted immigration this time, strictly guarding against all aspects, and comprehensively blocking all channels for foreigners to stay in the UK, the difficulty has increased suddenly, and it is even more difficult!
Cleverly, the home secretary of black African descent, lit three fires as soon as he took office, announcing that Britain would tighten its immigration policy.
On December 4, British Home Secretary James Cleverly announced a series of new measures to significantly restrict immigration, including a significant increase in the minimum annual salary for work visas (skilled worker visas), restrictions on family accompaniment, and reassessment of graduate visas (not excluding cancellation or restrictions), aimed at reducing the number of net migrants, which is expected to be officially implemented next spring. Let's take a closer look.
The main contents of this new policy are as follows:
Currently, the latest annual salary for a skilled worker visa in the UK is £26,200, but from next spring, the UK** will raise the minimum salary threshold for an overseas work permit by 50% to £38,700, unchanged for healthcare workers.
If this is done, it can be said that most of the international students who have just graduated will not meet the requirements.
Also raising the standard is an increase in the minimum wage requirement for a British citizen spouse visa, which is expected to increase to £38,700 from the previous £18,600 income requirement.
Stop bringing companion visas for family members when recruiting medical professionals from overseas, in order to end the abuse of such companion visas in recent years. And only healthcare providers regulated by the UK Council for Quality in Care (CQC) are eligible to sponsor and apply for work visas for overseas healthcare professionals.
* The number of occupations on the Shortage Occupation List will be reviewed and reduced, in the hope of reducing the number of low-skilled, low-paid overseas workers. This includes the removal of the 20 per cent minimum wage threshold for professionals in short occupations.
The Shortage Occupation List* is to help employers fill certain positions. These jobs have a low salary threshold, and the positions currently on the list include: jobs in the health and education fields, paramedics, graphic designers, engineers of all kinds, programmers, construction workers, veterinarians, and more.
The minimum income threshold for UK sponsors who wish to apply for a reunification visa for family members (couple, minor children) overseas will also be raised to £38,700 to ensure the financial basis for family reunification. The current minimum income is £18,600, which has been since 2012.
The Immigration Advisory Committee (IAC) has scrutinized the PSW visa (Graduate Visa) more closely and will further tighten it (possibly with a number of restrictions or even abolishing it, etc.) to prevent abuse.
The specific price increase plan is as follows: the IHS for children, students and other visa applicants will be increased from £470 to £776 per year, and the IHS for other visa route applicants will be increased from £624 to £1,035 per year.
In fact, since the beginning of this year, there have been new changes in immigration policies in various countries almost every month, but the overall trend is to become more and more stringent.
Therefore, we remind applicants who intend to apply for immigration status that they must make a decision as soon as possible and handle it as soon as possible in order to catch up with the window period before the political change!
