On October 18, the official website of the UK domestic government released the amendment to the Immigration Law this year. This amendment does not mention the innovative visa change that the industry is concerned about, and the rest are changed to further amendments to the existing immigration policy. Let’s take a look at the main information of this amendment together.
Innovative visa change may be postponed until spring 2023!
Autumn amendment to the British Immigration Law: Innovative visas may be postponed to the spring of 2023!
window period "get on the bus" as soon as possible!
Since the beginning of this year, the British government has continuously sent out signals of reforms to innovate visas, and has also warned of a change of government in the fall. We also made a forecast for the change of the government last month, including the reduction of the number of endorsement institutions, adjustment of investment amount, etc., but the bill changes to innovative visas in this amendment have not appeared.
According to industry insiders, the reason why the details of the change of the government were not announced this time was due to the lack of coordination and delays. It is expected that the innovative visa change bill, including the reduction in the number of endorsement institutions, will be extended until next spring. During this period, the UK Home Office will control the current quota of endorsement institutions to better connect with the new policies.
Therefore, during this transition period, in order to seize the valuable quota of endorsement institutions under the current policy, please apply as soon as possible to prevent the UK Immigration Agency from suddenly changing the government or the quota of endorsement institutions from being exhausted.
officially abolished the police station registration system
Previously, the UK required foreigners over 16 years old to go to the UK to register as long as they lived in the UK for more than 6 months, they would be required to go to the local police station to register within 7 days after arriving in the UK. According to previous regulations, after entering the UK, you must make an appointment for registration in advance. Then you must bring a series of cumbersome materials such as passport, photos, address certificates, etc. to the police station for registration at the agreed time. You also need to pay a registration fee of 34 pounds. If you change your address later, you must notify the police station in time, otherwise you will face a high fine!
This amendment mentioned that since the plan has not changed for many years, the same data collected by the police have now been obtained electronically by the Ministry of Home Affairs during the visa application stage. Therefore, in order to reduce the cost and administrative burden of the police and the Ministry of Home Affairs, the registration system for foreigners police stations in the UK will be officially abolished, and the police can access the Ministry of Home Affairs data through other means. The change in
This policy will greatly save visa applicants time, energy and registration fees, and further improve work efficiency.
Global Elite Visa Category Revision
Global Elite Visa Category is for talented and promising individuals who want to work in the UK, digital technology , arts and culture. Applicants need to have already become leaders or potential leaders in their respective fields. The amendment is modified as follows:
Endorsement and Changes in Evidence Requirements
Changes to the evidence of applicants in the arts and culture fields: a letter of support from organizations or individuals who have worked directly with the applicant can therefore comment on their skills through personal experience rather than through reputation. This is to ensure that the author has first-hand knowledge of the applicant's work and to prevent the submission of more general letters, as this does not adequately support a claim of special talents or commitment;
changes the evidence of applicants in the field of digital technology: the applicant is required to provide letters of support from individuals with a detailed understanding of the applicant's work within at least 12 months. This is to ensure that the author can fully consider the applicant’s work in support of the outstanding or potential talents proposed by the applicant.
Changes to the list of famous awards
adds 1 British Fashion Council Award;
transfers Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award to the Arts and Culture category.
Changes in related time
allows the time spent as an overseas business representative to be included in a continuous settlement period of 3 years or 5 years.
Changes in the path of global commercial flows
To fulfill the commitments made in the free trade agreements signed by the UK with Australia and New Zealand . In this amendment, Australian citizens and Australian permanent residents will be able to stay on the Service Supplier route for up to 12 months at the last time.
Work visa fine-tuning
made error corrections to the current salary rate of registered medical professionals in CT3/ST3-5 in England;
clarified that the additional salary is handled the same as the basic salary for taxes, pensions and national insurance purposes; and clarified the maximum period of license.
or above is the main content of this amendment. We can see that in each amendment issued by the Immigration Bureau, in addition to correcting the errors and loopholes in the current bill, more rational and simplified reforms will be carried out on existing policies to enable more talents to come to the UK and stay in the UK.
