No salary increase for visa renewals, says Home Secretary.
Important Update: No Salary Increase for Workers Renewing Visas!
Exciting news! The UK Home Secretary, James Cleverly, recently revealed to a trusted LBC reporter that workers already employed in the UK will not be burdened with meeting the heightened salary requirements when renewing their visas.
To keep you well-informed, we want to bring your attention to the government's plan to raise the minimum salary requirement for skilled worker visas from £26,200 to £38,700 next spring. However, it seems this increase will not apply to those renewing their visas, bringing a sense of relief to countless individuals.
It's worth noting that this move has faced criticism from the industry, as it could potentially impact approximately 95% of the 8,500 visas issued to those in the hospitality sector last year. Many industry experts have expressed concerns about the potential difficulty in recruiting skilled workers from overseas due to these changes.
Additionally, we would like to inform you that a new immigration salary list will soon replace the current shortage occupation list. As of now, the salary threshold will remain unchanged until immigration rules are amended in the Spring Statement of Changes next year.
