British skilled immigrants?

As many friends know, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and other countries have skilled migration policies to attract people with professional skills from all over the world to settle in their countries. But so far, almost no one knows that Britain has a similar skilled migration policy (skilled workers' work visa).

Britain is a high welfare country, and citizens enjoy free medical care and education. In recent years, the employment situation in Britain has reached the best level in decades. Among European countries, Britain has become one of the countries with high employment rate. As the problem of aging in British society is very serious, there is an urgent need for members with certain skills to support the welfare system implemented by the state. To this end, the British government has been considering absorbing high-quality skilled workers in a planned way. On June 28th, 2002, after several years of deliberation and numerous debates, the British high-tech immigration policy was finally introduced. At that time, this immigration policy attracted more than 7,000 high-tech employees from all over the world, and the British government's policy was a great success, and it was decided to be formally implemented on June 28, 2003.

Britain's immigration policy to attract skilled personnel is relatively perfect, and Australia's revision of its commercial immigration policy with reference to the British immigration policy is a strong proof. British immigrants also adopt a hierarchical system. However, compared with the immigration assessment standards in Canada and other countries, British skilled immigrants have no rigid requirements on language and occupation, which is relatively beneficial to China applicants.

In addition, Britain's immigration application approval speed is fast, which has great advantages in time compared with other countries with long application cycle.

However, the so-called "immigrants" under the British plan are not "permanent residents" in the usual sense, but long-term work visas, usually valid for one year. After the expiration, those who meet the requirements can apply for renewal.

Talents from all walks of life who have the ability to find jobs or start their own businesses in the UK with a score of 65 (applicants under the age of 28) or 75 (applicants over the age of 28) can apply for high-tech immigrants in the UK (HSMP). HSMP has no rigid language requirements, as long as your language level meets the needs of the job. The grading standard is divided into the following parts.

This policy seems to be very beneficial to China applicants, but in fact, many policies and terms are still strictly implemented. In fact, even if your application is successful, you will only get a work permit for one year, and then you need to apply for a work visa to the British embassy, consulate or diplomatic mission in your country of permanent residence within three months. And if you haven't made a tax contribution to the UK within one year after you landed in the UK (the job of the Labour Party is not included, but you must work in a counterpart office or start your own business), you can't continue to get a work visa, that is to say, your renewal application will fail/be rejected in this case.
