Tough regulations for UK job visa in offing
February 25, 2009
Rising unemployment in Britain has forced the Government to put restrictions on professionals from non-European countries and India so that locals get the first preference.
Come April 1st and the basic requirements to enter Britain under the Tier 1 category of the points-based immigration will be altered. You will have to posses a master’s degrees and minimum salary of ₤20,000 if you are from non-European country or an Indian seeking employment in UK under the Tier1 category. At present under-graduate and ₤17,000 were considered for UK job Visa.
Even changes are on the cards for those falling under Tier 2 category and families of migrants. Home Secretary Jacqui Smith is expected to announce the coming measures soon. However, there is some respite as those industries officially recognised as facing shortage of skilled personnel will be able to recruit from outside the European Union.
This is not going to be a ‘All Fool’s Day’s’ joke, but will be a reality for those seeking UK job visas.
