The new global system awards points for skills, having a job offer and speaking English
Applications for the new skilled worker visa opened on 1st December, meaning the brightest and the best from around the world can now apply to work in the UK from 1 January 2021.
Under the points-based immigration system, points will be awarded for a job offer at the appropriate skill level, knowledge of English and being paid a minimum salary. Skilled worker visas will be awarded to those who gain enough points.
The new immigration rules will ensure that businesses can recruit the most highly qualified from across the globe to drive the economy forwards and keep the UK at the frontier of innovation.
It will also encourage employers to focus on training and investing in the UK workforce, driving productivity and improving opportunities for individuals, especially those impacted by coronavirus.
People will normally need to be paid at least £25,600 per year unless the ‘going rate’ for that job is higher.
Applications are made online, and as part of this, people will need to prove their identity and provide their documents. Once someone outside the UK has gone through all these steps, they will usually get a decision within 3 weeks.
