Rishi Sunak toughens UK visa rules under pressure from Tory MPs

IndiaTimes Tuesday, 5 December 2023
Rishi Sunak's government raises the salary requirement for UK visa applicants to £38,700. Other measures include prohibiting care workers from bringing family dependents and ending the 20% salary discount for workers on the government's shortage occupation list. The aim is to reduce net immigration by 300,000 in the future. The Office for National Statistics reported an estimated 672,000 more people moved to the UK than departed in the year ending June. Sunak has faced intense pressure from Tory MPs to come up with a plan to tackle surging immigration.
