As the UK continues to make changes to its Business Immigration system, one development that is helpful for employers seeking global talent is changes to the validity period of a sponsor licence.
In 2024, the UK's immigration system will undergo significant changes, particularly affecting sponsor licence requirements to sponsor overseas workers. It is vital for employers, migrant workers, and families involved in the UK immigration process to understand the changes. This report offers an in-depth exploration of these developments.
The UK Parliament has approved an increase in the Immigration Health Surcharge (IHS), effective from 6 February 2024.
The UK government's recent policy updates, aimed at reducing net migration, mark a contentious shift in its approach to immigration. Central to these updates is the increase in salary thresholds for skilled workers to £38,700, significantly up from £26,200.
The huge Immigration Health Surcharge increase, initially planned for January 16, 2024, has been postponed due to a Parliamentary debate on January 10, 2024. Consequently, the new rates will not be implemented until January 31, 2024 at the earliest.
