New Strict Care Visa announced by UK
Overseas care workers banned from bringing dependents
By Kwedu News
The British government has announced a raft of new immigration laws on Monday aimed at reducing the number of authorised immigrants.
Home Secretary James Cleverly announced the rules saying they hope to lower authorised immigration from a record 750 000 in 2022.
Under the new laws the UK government proposed to:
.Ban health and care workers bringing family dependents to the UK
.End companies being able to pay workers 20% less than the going rate for jobs on a shortage occupation list.
.Increase the annual charge foreign workers pay to use the NHS from £624 to £1,035
.Raise minimum income for family visas to £38.700 up from £18.600 from next spring
.Ask the government’s migration adviser to review the graduate visa route to ” prevent abuse”
.Starting in January most foreign graduate students won’t be able to bring family members to the UK.
The number of immigrants entering the UK has soared since the British left the European Union.
The latest moves have been roundly condemned by the opposition Labor party, Economists and the Health Care Sector.
