Britain Proposes Tighter Visa Rules to Curb Migration
Financial Express Chennai
|May 12, 2025
The British Government seeks to tighten visa requirements to curb the number of workers arriving through legal routes, as Prime Minister Keir Starmer attempts to address dissatisfaction over immigration that has led to growing support for the populist Reform UK party.
The measures—outlined in the Immigration White Paper that will be released Monday—propose new graduate-level requirements for skilled visa applicants and limits on lower-skilled visas. Changes to deportation and removal rules will also be announced Monday to make it easier to remove foreign criminals committing crimes in the UK.
Starmer has pledged to reduce migration to Britain in response to concerns over the pressure on public services.
