The United Kingdom could make it easier for foreign professionals to qualify for work visas if the government adopts a new set of recommendations from the country’s independent Migration Advisory Committee (MAC).
The proposals focus on salary thresholds across several immigration routes and are aimed at addressing labour shortages while maintaining competitive wage standards, according to Travel Biz reports.
If implemented, the changes could widen access to UK jobs for skilled foreign workers, including professionals from countries such as India and Nigeria who continue to seek employment opportunities in the UK.
A key recommendation from the MAC is to reduce occupation-specific salary thresholds under the Skilled Worker visa route.
