UK Changes to Immigration Policies for 2014

We have always needed migrants and so fore we have always welcomed them with open arms. Migrants are fully entitled to British welfare benefits such as income support and housing benefits as well as affordable or free accommodation and help and guidance about adjusting to life in the UK. Migrant children have the full right to attend British schools and our Health Care Service is open for all. 

 

The changes which are due to come into effect in January 2014 are: 

• The English language criteria being abolished for intra company transferees. 
• Allowing migrant students to work as interns 
• Allowing migrants to study even if this was not their visiting purpose 
• Expanding options for businesses visitors
• Abolishing the prospective student route 

The United Kingdom is already one of the easier countries to gain entry into, although other countries such as the USA who have over 20 different visas may on appearance seem more intricate there’s no waivering of conditions like the UK have done and continue to you. We have always offered a place of safety to those around the world in need, whether to escape persecution, gain religious freedom or improve their families quality of life the doors of Britain are not usually difficult to enter. The United Kingdom is a compassionate and humane country and that is set to never change, only improve. There are more schemes set to be put into place later on in the year and some of these are going to be on a pilot format which means a trial and error kind of way, the UK takes immigration extremely seriously and are constantly looking for ways to improve their services to benefit those wanting to use it.
