RakLAW is prepared to help you negotiate the complexity of immigration law, drawing on over 12 years’ experience in immigration law. We are committed to providing clear and practical advice that simplifies the process of securing a work visa.
Following Brexit, the United Kingdom has introduced a new immigration policy which significantly influences the recruitment of Non-UK employees. Whether you are an EU or non-EU national, it is imperative to become familiar with the current work visa criteria and regulations in today’s competitive landscape. For guidance on long-term settlement options, please refer to our naturalisation application service.
Recent public health concerns have led to temporary adjustments in the immigration rules, affecting both companies and workers. Adapting your application strategy and ensuring compliance with the latest criteria requires staying up to date with these modifications. If you need further advice on how such changes may impact your situation, our team is available to assist you through our asylum applications service.
The skilled worker route represents one of the most significant developments in employment immigration. Foreign workers who secure a job offer from a United Kingdom company must now meet specific requirements in terms of skills, salary thresholds, and english language competency. These changes are designed to ensure that only appropriately qualified candidates gain access to employment opportunities. For further support with workplace issues, please see our employment contracts service.
In recent years, Non-EU work visa permits have shown a marked increase, with the skilled worker category expanding rapidly. Key sectors such as health and social care contribute a significant share of the issued visas, reflecting the growing need for qualified professionals in critical areas of the economy.
Migrant workers may encounter challenges including the risk of exploitation, particularly when their roles are tied to a single employer. Understanding these hazards is essential to take appropriate measures to safeguard workers’ rights and welfare. For additional advice on protecting your rights at work, please visit our discrimination law page.
While many Non-EU job migrants historically did not settle permanently in the United Kingdom, recent patterns indicate an increase in long-term stays. Being aware of the post-arrival pathways of visa holders is crucial for effective future planning and for those considering a route to permanent residency. If you require assistance in challenging visa decisions, our judicial review service may prove invaluable.
