If you are wishing to migrate to the UK? Good News for all the immigration aspirants!! According to UK Government’s declaration, from 1^st Jan 2021 onwards EU and non-EU citizens will be treated equally for the migration.

What are the proposals made by UK Govt?
 

• UK will introduce a points-based system immigration system that will allow the country to choose best talents from mainly India and China.
• Under the "points-based system", predominantly skills and language factors will be taken into consideration to permit the skilled professionals in UK.
• The proposed points system is designed in-line with the Immigration process of Canada, Australia and New Zealand.
• Applicants will have to meet the eligibility criteria points of 70 under different factors such as UK Job Offer, Language Proficiency, high education qualifications and high-paying job offer from UK.

 
Under the UK Points Based System , there are primarily four "tiers" of visa application:

• Students
• Temporary workers

• "High-value" migrants (people with "exceptional talent" or investors)

Along with the aforementioned categories, there are other types of visas such as family visas (spouses and relatives).
