As the UK prepares for elections, Prime Minister Rishi Sunak’s Conservative and Unionist party is taking steps to revamp immigration rules. Last year, the UK issued 1.4 million visas, but now aims to reduce migration by 300,000. One major change is raising the salary requirement for skilled worker visas from £26,200 to £38,700.
This shift targets middle-income roles like in cooking and retail, often sought by Indian workers. Employers might struggle to meet the new salary demands, affecting job availability. However, higher-paying jobs like in tech are unaffected. While this may impact foreign nationals, including Indians, aiming for UK visas, it aligns with British voters’ concerns about high immigration.
