The UK government has unveiled a stringent set of measures aimed at reducing immigration numbers, featuring a higher salary threshold for skilled visas and restrictions on bringing family members. Home Secretary James Cleverly announced the crackdown, impacting Health and Care visa holders who can no longer bring family members. For skilled worker visas, the salary threshold rises from GBP 26,200 to GBP 38,700, affecting around 300,000 potential immigrants. The five-point plan includes reviewing the Graduate Route visa to prevent abuse and reforming the system for shortage labor from overseas. The move follows record-high immigration figures, with India dominating skilled workers, medical professionals, and students. The crackdown is set to take effect from the first half of 2024.
