去年12月4日,英国内政大臣公布了一项“五点计划”,旨在实现减少英国“有史以来最大的净移民数量”。
1月30日英国内政部确定2024年4月4日开始执行工签新政,将技术工人签证的最低薪资门槛从26,200英镑提高到38,700英镑(卫生和护理签证工作者不受此影响),对于想要拿英国工签的朋友只剩不到一个月的窗口期。
政策实施具体时间:
工签新政影响有多大?
根据数据显示,2022年英国的年度净移民人数达到了创纪录的745000人,此后一直保持在高水平,其中许多移民来自印度、尼日利亚和中国等国家,每年将减少约30万人次入境人数。
按照每周工作37.5小时计算,在其英国内政部网站列出的226种工作类型中,只有15种能够满足新的薪资门槛要求:

目前已经有在英国的中国人反馈部分英国公司已经开始撤回offer和面试通知,因为岗位的薪资不符合英国修改的移民法,无法继续提供职位。
对于在英国的留学生毕业后如果找到雇主提供担保,工作经验很少情况下拿到38,700英镑的offer机会很少。
现行政策下,对于应届生或未满26周岁的学生拿工签会有70%的折扣标准,换句话说,如果你满足了留学生申请工签的要求,岗位薪资要求可以降低至70%,如果你的毕业薪资高于这个数字,不必担心offer有被撤回的风险。
对于未达到新政的朋友,安信达出国建议您把握最后不到一个月的窗口期,一但实行新政申请工签将更加困难。
