The UK is opting for a gradual hike in the salary threshold for family visas, moving away from an immediate implementation. The salary threshold is a key factor in determining whether an individual qualifies to sponsor a spouse or partner on a family visa. Instead of a sudden and substantial increase, the threshold will be raised gradually.
This shift is viewed as a concession from the initial proposal and is aligned with UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak’s drive to reform immigration policies. The staged implementation aims to alleviate concerns and facilitate a smoother transition for individuals and families impacted by the revised visa eligibility requirements.
