The government of the UK announced changes in the immigration system. The system is points-based and has been effective since January 2021. The critical features of the points-based immigration system include:
Category | Maximum points |
Job offer | 20 points |
Job at appropriate skill level | 20 points |
English speaking skills | 10 points |
Salary of 26,000 and above or relevant PhD in a STEM subject |
20 points |
Total | 70 points |
The new system has increased opportunities for the migration of skilled workers. The altered requirements for the English language give the British employers benefit of access to a broader pool of skilled workers.
The government of the UK decided to remove the immigrants’ cap who are eligible to live in the UK under the skilled worker route.
The absence of a resident labor market test aids the skilled immigrants in conveniently finding a job in the country.
This redesigned system applies to all the migrants to the UK irrespective of whether they are from the EU or other nations. The application of a points-based system will help the government to apply a uniform immigration system based on the individual’s skills.
