The Home Office published a statement of changes providing further details and additional updates to immigration rules intended to reduce net migration.
Key Points:
Additional Information: Individuals will qualify for the current salary thresholds if they submit their applications using a certificate of sponsorship (CoS) assigned prior to April 4 or if they maintain a work permit status and/or a continuous permission to reside in the country and they are extending their stay or changing employers.
BAL Analysis: The measures represent significant changes to the immigration system and are designed to reduce the number of migrants coming to the U.K. Employers should be aware of the increased salary thresholds and their requirements to meet the new general salary thresholds or the going rate for the respective occupation.
This alert has been provided by the BAL Global Practice Group.
