How Can Care Workers Benefit from the New Immigration Changes?
The UK is tightening its requirements for care worker sponsorship, making it more complex to secure a work visa. As of April 9, employers must demonstrate efforts to recruit from within the UK’s skilled worker pool before sponsoring overseas applicants.
This means if you’re a care worker looking to migrate, navigating these requirements requires expert guidance. At Lexvisa, our dedicated immigration team specialises in securing work visas for care professionals. We ensure your application is robust, meets the new criteria, and avoids common pitfalls that could lead to rejection. Contact us today to enhance your chances of success.
How Are Skilled Worker Salary Requirements Changing?
The minimum salary threshold for Skilled Worker visas is increasing from £23,200 to £25,000. This change affects thousands of professionals, particularly in healthcare and education.
If you’re planning to apply under the Skilled Worker route, ensuring compliance with these new salary thresholds is crucial. Our expert immigration lawyers at Lexvisa provide tailored advice, ensuring your application is structured to meet the latest Home Office requirements. Whether you’re an employer or an individual applicant, we streamline the process for a stress-free experience.
What’s Changing in the EU Settlement Scheme?
From April 9, non-EEA nationals applying under the EU Settlement Scheme (EUSS) can now use an expired UK biometric residence card (up to 18 months old) as proof of identity. This update provides more flexibility for applicants but also introduces new complexities.
With ever-evolving rules, relying on Lexvisa’s specialist immigration team ensures that your EUSS application is correctly submitted and avoids unnecessary delays. We offer comprehensive support, from eligibility assessments to document preparation, maximising your chances of a successful outcome.
