Neither condemned, nor low-skilled workers nor people who do not have a high level of English. British Home Secretary Priti Patel has given more details today about the new immigration system that will come into force in the United Kingdom from January 1, the day the transition period ends and the country will separate. definitely from the rest of the 27. The special visa that will provide facilities and incentives to continue attracting health professionals will not include, as confirmed by the extensive document of more than 130 pages, household social workers, a sector that the Executive expects reinforce with British staff.

In today's announcement, it has also been known that those people, whatever their origin, who have been sentenced to more than a year in prison, may not even choose to enter the country. Furthermore, those who are sentenced once they are in the United Kingdom, even to sentences of less than one year, may also be deported to their countries of origin, something that can currently only be done with European citizens if the country shows that the individual represents a persistent threat for public safety.

In this way, the government equals community citizens with those of the rest of the world , since, for example, there are currently 8,000 people from outside the EU waiting to be deported for this reason. In this way, and as the Johnson Executive proclaims, the British intend to keep the "best talent in the world" , which they assure that they will give all the facilities to continue arriving.

Spot system

At the beginning of the year, it was already known that the country would implement a points immigration system that would value basic issues such as knowledge of the language, having a job offer that touched 30,000 euros per year or having been accepted at one of its universities. In fact, those who decide to study a career in the United Kingdom, and waiting to know if they will keep the reduction in their fees for community members, can stay two years to try to find a job, in the case of careers and masters, and three in the of doctorates.

All these requirements seem that they can be varied, in any case, according to the needs, since several exceptions are contemplated in fields such as that of temporary workers or youth employment. For example, those who have recently completed their university studies will find that requirement in the salary of the job offer reduced to 23,000 euros. It is not ruled out that this may also apply to certain health and education workers.

A special visa for health and scientists

In the document published today, the Government "appreciates the vital contributions that foreign doctors, nurses and other health workers make to the National Health System and to the sector as a whole," detailing how this special visa will be planned. Advantages include less waiting time for processing, reduced costs and personalized help for the process, not only for the employee but also for her family.

This, however, does not cover those who do their work at home, such as those who assist the elderly or people with disabilities, and from Downing Street justify it as a way of trusting the national labor market: " We want the companies invest more in training this type of personnel within our borders . In this specific case, our advisers have ruled that immigration is not the only answer, and that is why we have endowed local administrations with 1.7 billion euros for these programs during the years 2021 and 2022. In addition, we plan to launch a campaign that encourages hiring. "
