Is it true that the British immigration policy adjustment will open a bank account?

65438+10.2 According to British reports, on February 7, 2007,2065438+,the British Immigration Bureau issued a revised immigration bill, which adjusted the visas for outstanding talents, entrepreneurs and jobs.

As for the entrepreneur immigrant visa, the original regulation is that the jobs created by the applicant in the latest visa period must exist for at least 12 months. The new regulations are revised as follows: even if the applicant obtained his last visa less than 65,438+02 months ago, the job he created must still exist for at least 65,438+02 months before this application. In addition, the bill also adjusted the funding requirements for entrepreneurial immigrants.

However, the new regulations change the time limit for visa holders to set up their own companies or register as company directors within six months to eight months.

In terms of work visa, for international students, if they want to change from Tier4 student visa to Tier2 work visa, they can apply as long as they complete the degree course, instead of waiting until graduation.

In addition, if you want to change from a work visa to a permanent residence, the previous rule is that visa holders should not leave the country for more than 180 days a year. Previously, this rule was only for the main applicant, and the revised rule requires the affiliated applicant (spouse) of the work visa to meet this condition.

However, if the applicant leaves the country for more than 180 days because of his participation in assisting humanitarian or environmental crisis organizations in any country or the world, or helping to fight Ebola virus in West Africa, he will be exempted.

According to the original policy, work permit holders must start their next job within 60 days after completing their last job in order to meet the application conditions for permanent residence. However, the revised regulations delete the provision that the work interruption cannot exceed 60 days.

In addition, almost at the same time as the implementation of the new visa bill, the British government will require all banks to conduct a thorough investigation of personal accounts to ensure that the immigration status of account owners in the UK is legal. This inspection will be conducted once a quarter. The government expects to find out thousands of illegal immigrants.
