The world is "grabbing" people. The UK has announced a points-based immigration plan. Doctoral graduates can stay in the UK for three years.

On July 13, British local time, British Home Secretary Priti Patel announced the details of the new points-based immigration plan and said that with the points-based system, the government will welcome the best and brightest. Global talents immigrate to the UK, and highly skilled individuals such as scientists, engineers and scholars will be the UK's key targets for attracting immigrants. For new points immigration, a doctorate can earn up to 70 points.

The 130-page immigration plan titled "British Points-Based Immigration System - More Details" will take effect from January 1, 2021. Under the new points system, from labor skills , qualifications, salary levels, language proficiency, job opportunities and other aspects to score applicants, and provide a more comprehensive explanation of the existence and adjustment of work visas, student visas, tourist visas, and other immigration visa routes under the new points-based immigration system.

The latest points-based immigration is mainly divided into four categories:

1. Skilled Worker (skilled work visa)

2. Skilled Work: Health and Care Visa (Medical and care technology work visa)

3. Start-up (start-up visa)

4. Innovator (innovation visa)

5. Global Talent ( Global Talent Visa)

1. Intra-Company Transfers (intra-company transfer path)

2. Intra-Company Graduate Trainees (intra-company transfer trainee path)

3. Youth Mobility Scheme (youth mobility scheme visa, "working holiday" visa)

This is good news for job applicants from non-EU countries, because the new system treats EU and non-EU citizens equally, which means With the increase in opportunities for non-EU applicants, the minimum salary standards have been lowered, and applications for relatively low levels that were not originally provided for work visas are now open.

Today we will focus on the ones most closely related to international students. What are the changes in the two visa routes~

The Graduate route graduate visa (also known as the PSW visa we used to call) will be implemented in the summer of 2021. International students holding this visa will be able to stay in the UK after graduation. Continue to work and live. This policy will greatly increase the attractiveness of the UK to international students. After all, look at the United States...

Graduate visa application conditions and requirements:

· Applicants must have obtained a degree at undergraduate level or above from a British higher education institution (recorded)

The study needs to be carried out entirely in the UK on a permitted overseas study program or due to COVID-19. (Covid-19) Except for projects that require distance learning

Accompanying relatives can work in almost any kind of job in the UK during this period. (Confirmed for the first time in today’s details)

·? Students holding government scholarships need to obtain the sponsor’s permission.

It is worth mentioning that British PhD students can stay in the UK for 3 years after graduation! , while undergraduate and master students currently only have two years. This will make it easier for some of the best young international graduates to find skilled jobs in the UK and contribute to the economy.

The British government has also established the "Office for Talent" (Talent Office) to this end, aiming to attract more relevant high-tech and high-knowledge talents to the UK and build a strong country for scientific and technological development.

The new points-based student visa system is an improvement on the existing T4 visa system. Applicants for student visas must have 70 points or more and will receive corresponding points if they meet the requirements in the form.

The existing core principles of the T4 visa will be retained:

① Guarantee from a qualified institution; ② Proof of English proficiency; ③ Proof of self-sufficiency in the UK.
