Breaking News! NEW UK VISA rules ANNOUNCED on 4th Dec 2023 | TOUGHER UKVI Immigration updates UK Visa rules are about to get tougher in the breaking news coming in. The official UKVI immigration changes were announced that make moving to the UK much tougher. The UK Govt just announced all the big changes to the UK visas that will seriously affect people trying to study and get a job in the UK. This includes changes to salary thresholds, rules around dependants in the UK and care workers in the UK. Foreign worker salary threshold rises to £38,700 as part of government clampdown. A new five-point plan to cut immigration has been announced by the government, which includes banning care workers from bringing over their families and raising the minimum salary for a skilled worker visa. The measures are
1 :Health and care visas: Overseas care workers will not be able to bring family dependants, to end the "abuse of the health and care visa". Care firms that want to sponsor people for visa applications will need to be regulated by the Care Quality Commission. A dependant is defined by the government as a husband or wife, civil partner or unmarried partner, and children under
Update 2 :Skilled worker visa minimum salary change: The threshold for an application will rise by nearly 50% from £26,200 to £38,700 - although health and care workers will still be able to earn less before applying for the route.
Update 3 :Shortage occupation list: The government wants to "scrap cut-price shortage labour from overseas" by reforming the way people working in short-staffed sectors can apply to come to the UK. This will include axing the 20% discount applied to the minimum salary for people looking for a visa for shortage occupations. The types of jobs on the list will also be reviewed and reduced.
Update 4: Family visas: The minimum threshold for a family visa will also be raised to £38,700 to "ensure people only bring dependants whom they can support financially". Currently, it stands at the 2012 rate of £18,600.
pdate 5: Student visas: Following the tightening of who can bring in family members on student visas earlier this year, the government will ask the Migration Advisory Committee to review the graduate route "to prevent abuse and protect the integrity and quality of UK higher education".
