UK reviewing visa rules to curb migration

GRADUATE RULES AND LIMITS ON LOW SKILLED VISAS AMONG PROPOSALS

- 

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 today 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 to make it easier to remove foreign criminals committing crimes in the UK.
