7 NEW CHANGES IN UK IMMIGRATION RULES 2023 – APRIL 2023 UPDATES
This article talks about the 7 Big UK Immigration Changes announced by The Home Office. On March 9, 2023, the Home Office released a fresh statement of revisions that included particular modifications to the UK Immigration Rules. Let’s discuss the most significant changes.
First and foremost, the Innovator Founder Route
A new Innovator Founder visa will become effective in April 2023, which will replace the current Innovator and Start-up routes. One of the main differences between the current routes and the new visa is that applicants don’t need to have £50,000 of investment funds to fulfill the eligibility criteria.
Secondly, Salary Thresholds
Salary thresholds have also been updated. For several working visas, prevailing rates and salary limits have raised. For example, the hourly rate for the Skilled Worker visa is £10.75, and the minimum annual salary is £26,200. Similarly, the minimum annual salary for scale-up workers is now £34,000.
Next, Work Absences
The 12-month work requirement for the Professional and Specialist Worker visa via the International Business Mobility route now accepts absences for jury duty or court appearances.
Also, Australian Businesses
The 12-month criterion for continuous employment is no longer necessary for anyone who uses the UK Expansion Worker route to create a franchise of an Australian company in the UK.
Additionally, Youth Mobility Scheme
New Zealanders with a Youth Mobility visa are permitted to stay in the UK for three years instead of two. Additionally, the age restriction for New Zealanders is now between the ages of 18 and 30 old rather than 18 to 35 years old.
Moreover, Endorsing Entities for the Global Talent Visa
There are also changes in Endorsing Entities for the Global Talent Visa. A great deal of the endorsing entities’ requirements has now been revised. It includes the Arts Council England, the Royal Academy of Engineering and the Royal Society (the National Academies), and the British Academy.
Lastly, ILR Long Residency
It appears that the phrase “continuous lawful residence” will receive an amendment. The 10-year qualifying period for lawful residence will no longer include time spent on a short-term, guest, or immigration bail visa.
Applicants may also, be eligible to go for long residency after spending time on bail or short-term visas. However, finishing their ten years of legal residence will take them longer.
