Immigrants arriving in the United Kingdom from 2021 must prove a sufficient level of English and will have a preference to obtain an entry visa for those who have a job or academic offer , according to the British Government's plans released on Wednesday.

The Executive has detailed that the new immigration law that he hopes to pass in the coming months will not include an option to give permits to "low-skilled" workers or a "route" to enter the country "for temporary employment."

"For too long, a migratory system distorted by European freedom of movement has failed to meet the needs of the British. Our proposal is going to change all this," said the 'white paper' published by the Government , on which the new legislation will be developed.

"We need to change the focus of our economy so that it ceases to settle on the cheap labor force of Europe and focus, instead, on investing in technology and automotive. Employees must adapt," details the text.

According to the government project, Europeans and immigrants from the rest of the world who want to live in the United Kingdom will be treated with the same standards.

The "top priority" of the system will be to give entry "to those most qualified and talented people" , such as scientists, engineers and academics, the document highlights.

Job offers for immigrants who want to obtain a visa to enter the country must guarantee a salary above 25,600 pounds (30,800 euros) per year, a reduction from the 30,000 pounds (36,000 euros) that are now offered to foreigners non-community

The changes will take effect on January 1, 2021, once the Brexit transition period has ended, in which the United Kingdom continues to maintain the free movement of persons for citizens of the European Union.

"It is appropriate for people to speak English before coming to our country" and "to have a sponsored route, either through employment or an academic institution," said Interior Minister Priti Patel to the local agency PA.

The document published by the Government indicates that Europeans who are already in the United Kingdom, who have the right to stay after Brexit , "will give companies the flexibility to meet the needs of the labor market."

"We understand that these proposals represent a significant change for companies," admits the Executive, who prepares a "complete communication program" to inform companies of future changes in the coming months.

The minister stressed that the "exciting" new British immigration system will allow the United Kingdom to "regain control" of its immigration policy "for the first time in decades . "

"That means we will have a global system that will not discriminate between European and non-European citizens, and will basically mean that the best and the brightest can come to the UK and bring their talent here, which we will recognize with a point system," he added. Patel

London will inspire its migration model in Australia , in which applicants must exceed a certain threshold of points that will be awarded based on criteria such as English level, have a job offer and other factors that will be adapted based on The needs of the labor market.

Immigrants must exceed 70 points to qualify for an entry visa in the country.
