Applying for immigration to the UK might open the door to living in one of the most exciting and prosperous countries in the world. Even in the current world economic climate Great Britain is a very sought after destination by would be immigrants.
For over a decade, the UK has welcomed roughly two million people from all over the world to work there, but it has one of the world’s most competitive immigration systems.
Two years ago, the UK immigration system was reformed to include old immigration routes and to introduce a new point-based system. Now, the UK immigration system offers five new tiers for all residents outside the European Union (EU) countries.
The largest groups of foreign nationals who were granted British citizenship were from Somalia, Pakistan, India, and the Philippines. Also, the UK has noted an increase in the number of people from Eastern European countries, markedly workers from Poland, who have been entering the UK since 2004. This is due to the fact that workers in the EU are free to move to any country that’s a part of the EU.
With the UK’s new point-based immigration system, the country has a more efficient system that is designed to resolve problems involving shortages of skilled labour. Foreign nationals who possess certain qualities or skills needed in certain areas of the UK are more favourably looked upon. In addition, skilled workers who are from outside the EU and whose skills are included in the Critical Skills Shortlist are more attractive to the UK administration. These include teachers, engineers, nurses, and doctors.
To know whether your application for a UK visa will be looked upon favourably, consult immigration experts.
