British Home Secretary Pretty Battle unveiled the final details of the new immigration system that the country will adopt at the beginning of next year, that is, immediately after the end of the transition phase of the European Union exit.
In a 130-page document, the British Home Office announced all the procedures that those wishing to enter its territories for work or study must follow.
Britain has moved to work in the drip system, and the citizens of the European Union will not have any preferential advantage over the rest of the immigrants if they are willing to work in the country.
The new system aims to dramatically reduce the number of immigrants, and withdraw it to less than 100,000 a year, given that the total number of immigrants arriving in the United Kingdom is 300,000.
What is the new British drip system?
The new system relies on awarding points for each immigration application, and in order to obtain approval, the candidate must score 70 points, divided by the proficiency of the English language, and a contract of employment from a British institution, provided that the job is in a field that requires certain skills, especially in the field Technical, electronic, scientific research and health.
In the event that three conditions are met, which is a certificate proving the proficiency of the language, an employment contract with an annual salary of 25 thousand and 600 pounds, and the guarantee of a job classified as requiring "high efficiency", the immigration applicant will receive 50 points out of 70.
While the remaining 20 points can be accumulated through the availability of an immigration applicant, with a doctorate in science, technology, engineering, or mathematics, or the employment contract for a job that suffers from a severe shortage in the British labor market, the British government will publish a list of these jobs.
The British government also granted the right to people who work in the areas of health and education to obtain 20 points, even if their salary is less than 25 thousand and 600 pounds, provided that their salary is not less than 20 thousand and 480 pounds.
How to increase the chances of approval of the immigration application?
The new system is not in favor of the so-called "low-efficiency" employers, that is, workers in shops and farms, and manual and craftsmanship, in contrast, those who are able to obtain an employment contract with an annual salary of more than 30,000 pounds, the point is raised.
There is a list of preferred occupations whose owners will not have problems obtaining a work visa, and they are all professions that require high efficiency, such as people holding a doctorate in the technological, scientific and technical field, in addition to medical workers.
Is there a difference between an Arab and a Western immigration applicant?
The new immigration system treats all immigrants from different countries of the world in the same way, unlike the previous system that was granting more rights to European citizens, and for this reason, work visa requests from Arab countries will be treated on an equal footing with their counterpart from European countries.
What is new about work visas?
One of the most important changes that took place in the British immigration system with respect to work visas is that it withdrew the condition of setting a certain number of contracts that any institution can provide to attract labor from abroad. In the new system, any company can issue the number of labor contracts and recruiting workers from abroad Provided that you ensure that they are given an annual salary of more than 25,000 pounds and that the job is classified as a profession that requires competence.
What about study visas?
The British government has not put any limits on the number of study visas that can be granted annually, but the new change that is in the interest of students is that any student who obtains a master’s degree, the new system gives him the right to stay in the country for two years after completing his studies, which is a sufficient period to obtain A job. As for students who hold a doctorate, they have the right to stay in the country for a period of three years, after completing their studies.
Students will also be rated according to the same 70-point system, 50 of which can be obtained from the availability of university approval, documents proving academic degrees obtained, and a document showing availability at a place of residence, while 10 points are awarded to demonstrate the financial ability to fund study in Britain Another 10 will be obtained by the student after presenting his English proficiency certificates.
What about visa costs?
Efficiency applicants will have to pay 1,220 pounds to obtain a three-year work visa, in addition to paying health services expenses of 624 pounds annually, and the employer will have to pay other expenses of one thousand pounds a year.
How about a very high caliber visa?
The new immigration system launched a visa that launches a very high competency visa, and this belongs to a specific category of people who have higher degrees in the field of scientific, technical or medical research and work in innovation and innovation laboratories and they have long years of experience, and these can obtain this visa even without having Employment contract, it is only sufficient to obtain a recommendation from a recognized research institution in Britain.
How can the rest of the family join Britain?
There will be no special procedures for family members wishing to join an immigrant in Britain who has a work visa, as it is not required for those who wish to obtain a job or even familiarity with the English language, and the wife can join her husband, and vice versa, in addition to children under the age of 18 .
