In response to what it deems "unsustainable" levels of legal migration, the UK government has announced a series of stringent measures, including a ban on healthcare workers bringing their families.
Interior Secretary James Cleverly claims the plan will result in a significant reduction of 300,000 people coming to the UK in the coming years. The revised immigration policy aims to prioritize British talent, curb reliance on migration, and align salaries with the average for specific job types.
The changes include increased visa earnings thresholds, barring care workers from bringing dependents, and a substantial hike in the immigration healthcare charge.
While acknowledging the vital contributions of healthcare workers, the government emphasizes the need for immigrants to make a substantial financial contribution. The proposed immigration overhaul is poised to impact various sectors and has sparked debates on immigration policy and its repercussions.
