UK Announces New Points-Based Immigration System

UK Home Secretary Priti Patel launched a new points-based immigration system, ensuring that the UK continues to attract the brightest and the best from around the world, including India. The new system takes effect from January 1, 2021.

The new Points-Based Immigration system will award points for specific skills, professions, salaries or qualifications/attributes, and visas will be awarded to those who gain sufficient points. The system will provide simple, effective, and flexible arrangements for skilled workers to come to the UK.

The new single global system will treat EU and non-EU citizens equally, giving top priority to those with the highest skills and the greatest talents, including scientists, innovators and academics.
