China News Service, July 14th, according to the "European Times" compilation report, the British Home Office recently announced the details of the new immigration policy after Brexit, in order to allow British companies, organizations and individuals to be the largest in recent decades. Prepare for immigration reform.
EU and non-EU citizens are treated equally
According to British media reports, the British Ministry of the Interior has previously revealed that the reformed immigration system adopts a point system, which will be implemented when the United Kingdom ends the Brexit transition period on January 1, 2021.
Under the system, the British border will be closed to so-called “unskilled” workers, and immigrants must use English. In addition, except for individual cases, immigration applicants must also provide a job invitation with an annual salary of not less than 25,600 pounds.
The biggest change in the immigration system reform is to restrict the free entry and exit of citizens of EU member states to the UK, which means that the UK will carry out the same entry and exit management of EU citizens and other overseas citizens.
Regarding the immigration reform that is coming, many industry leaders have worried that this may have an impact on the job market. British universities worry that the number of international students will decrease in the future.
It is understood that the new immigration policy will be implemented in stages to minimize the impact on businesses, especially those that have long relied on EU cheap labor.
The immigration system will be skill-driven
It is reported that the British Home Secretary Priti Patel (Priti Patel) released a 130-page document on July 13 that specifically introduced this reform route, including immigration regulations for skilled workers and international students.
Patel said: "The British people have regained the right to control their own borders by voting and will introduce a point immigration system. Now that we have left the EU, we can freely unlock the full potential of this country, and through necessary reforms, we can renew Build people's trust in the immigration system. From January 1, 2021, we will build a fairer, stronger, skills-led immigration system."
In the summer of 2021, a new visa policy for international students will be implemented. The new policy allows international students to stay in the UK after completing their studies. Students with bachelor's and master's degrees can stay in the UK for two years, and three years for a doctorate.
At the same time, the "Global Talent Program" allows scientists and scholars to come to the UK without a job invitation. However, the applicant's work must reach the A level or the same level in the new system, not the standard in the existing system.
Citizens of EU member states who are still in the UK by December 31, 2020 can apply to remain in the UK until June 30, 2021. (Gu Yan)
