UK Migration Rule Changes: What You Need to Know

The webinar discusses the implementation of a 5-point plan aimed at reducing net migration, announced by the Home Secretary in December 2023. The plan includes changes such as preventing social care workers on sponsored work visas from bringing dependents, increasing the baseline minimum salary under the skilled worker route, scrapping the shortage occupation list, raising the minimum income requirement for spouse or partner visas, and reviewing the graduate visa. The timeline for these changes is outlined, with some already in effect and others set to be implemented in Spring 2024. Transitional arrangements are also mentioned, providing insights for individuals already in specific visa categories and potential strategies for those planning to apply soon. The webinar also shares insights as to how LanguageCert can support you and your clients achieve their immigration goals via accessible and cost-effective SELT testing solutions.
