British immigration policy in 2020

# UK Immigration # Introduction In mid-July, 2020, the UK Immigration Bureau announced more operational details of the new points-based immigration system in the UK, which made its debut at the beginning of the year. The document content is 130 pages. The following is the British immigration policy in 2020, welcome to read!

British Immigration Policy in 2020

According to the information disclosed in the document, the free flow between Britain and the European Union was officially terminated at 0:00 pm on February 3, 2020. This new immigration policy will also be the core of British immigration policy after the "relationship change" between Britain and Europe. The new points immigration system will be formally implemented on 20211. Although one of the main purposes of this new policy is to ban the "absolute privilege" that EU citizens currently enjoy, the details of the policy change actually affect all prospective immigrants who are interested in Britain.

1, the visa line is "new"

According to the published documents, Britain has renamed all visas under the current point system (Tier prefix).

It mainly simplifies the existing Tier2 and Tier5 visas and subdivides "long-term visas" and "short-term visas" under the same type of work.

2. Work signs

As analyzed and introduced when the New Deal was released at the beginning of the year, the new work visa points system will be divided into three parts: prerequisite, salary and bonus items. Overseas employees must reach a minimum score of 70 to work in the UK.

According to the official points table, it is not difficult to see that as long as the necessary conditions (employer guarantee, work skill level, English ability) and minimum wage are met, you can get the qualification to apply for a work visa. However, in order to get rid of the old idea that salary determines life and death, the points under the new system will be scattered in different dimensions including education, salary, English level, skills and professional level.

The shortage of jobs, doctorates in the field of work, and STEM-related doctorates can all be the above-mentioned bonus items that impress the British government. In short, after applying for a work visa in the UK, money is no longer "everything", and professional skills and education can be successful.

In addition, in order to attract international talents to a certain extent, Britain will lift the restrictions on the number of work visas for technicians.

Of course, it should be noted that in any case, in addition to meeting the basic prerequisites, the applicant's annual salary should also reach the minimum threshold -20480.

3. Postgraduate PSW

In the details announced by the New Deal, there is an important division of the "graduate visa path" for student visas. According to the description, this path is the upcoming PSW visa version 2.0.

The postgraduate visa will be implemented in the summer of 20021,mainly for postgraduate students in British universities. The important details about the postgraduate visa are as follows:

Visa without guarantor, no language, no financial requirements, qualified British college graduates can apply directly;

Graduates with British bachelor's and master's degrees can get a 2-year visa, while doctoral degrees are valid for 3 years;

Visas are non-renewable, but most visa types can be re-signed in the UK;

After the visa is officially implemented, the current policy of "staying in the UK 12 months" for doctoral graduates will be cancelled;

Visa holders cannot enjoy social welfare in Britain.

4. Employment opportunities in the post-British exit from the EU era

According to the immigration policy under the new points system in Britain, this paper makes a simple summary of "new" visas with "permanent residence orientation" as the standard.

However, it is worth noting that among the above-mentioned non-permanent directional visas, individual visas can be unlocked by "re-signing", such as:

5. Work visa

Combined with the new points immigration system next year, it is much less difficult for British students to change their work visas through graduate students.

First of all, after EU citizens lose their policy aura, a large number of EU citizens will return to China, and the British labor market will also release a large number of job opportunities. Even if enterprises are likely to choose British citizens as the first choice to fill vacancies, considering the actual development and business ability of enterprises, overseas high-skilled immigrants are still a supplement to the current British talent market, so this move is still necessary! At this time, EU citizens have to return to the "unified starting line" and compete with global talents on the same stage.

Extended reading: the daily etiquette of British immigrants

First, common sense of daily communication

1. When talking about business, the British like to come straight to the point and express their views without beating around the bush.

Pay attention to body language when you speak, and don't point at others, because such behavior is considered unfriendly and disrespectful in Britain, so don't get too close when you speak.

Second, the common sense of banquet etiquette

2. It is polite to finish all the food on your plate when eating; If there is food left, it means that the guests don't like English food.

English people prefer to chat while eating, but it is impolite not to talk when they have food in their mouths, so they only put a small amount of food in their mouths when eating.

If you have to open your mouth wide, cover it with one hand. In British culture, it is considered polite to stay for social conversation after dinner, so the party may be very long.

Third, common sense of clothing etiquette

1. Although the British are very particular about clothes, they are very frugal. Generally, a suit will last for ten or eight years. An English man usually has two sets of dark clothes and two or three pairs of gray trousers.

2. British people have diversified and comfortable clothes, and casual jackets and jeans are more popular. The British pay attention to what style of clothes to wear on what occasions. However, many people like to wear casual clothes, which are simple and comfortable.
