‘Back to work plan’ leads to tighter immigration norms in UK

The UK government announces immigration policy amendments as part of the Back to Work Plan to increase the domestic workforce. The plan aims to reduce net migration and prevent around 300,000 people from entering the UK. Changes include an increase in the minimum general salary for Skilled Worker Route occupations, restrictions on bringing dependents for migrant health and social care workers, and the abolition of salary reductions for workers in shortage occupations. UK citizens sponsoring foreign dependents now require a minimum annual income of GBP 38,700.
