• The minimum income requirement for a British spouse or family visa will be raised from £18,600 to £38,700.
• Care workers will not be allowed to bring any dependents to the UK, and care firms will be required to be registered with the Care Quality Commission to sponsor visas.
• The Shortage Occupation List will be reformed and the current 20% going rate salary discount for shortage occupations will be abolished.
• The rules on students bringing family members to the UK will be tightened, plus the Migration Advisory Committee will be commissioned to carry out a full review of the graduate visa route.
IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT THESE CHANGES WILL TAKE PLACE FROM EARLY 2024.
