Announcement: NEW Right to Work process, effective in the UK from April 6th, 2022
Now mandatory for employers to complete right to work checks for individuals holding a number of visas and permits
The UK is one of the world’s most popular places to work. Here are 5 reasons why your UK business should have a sponsor licence.
The Government has announced changes to the BN(O) visa scheme.
The scheme, introduced in 2021, allows British nationals based in Hong Kong to live in the UK.
From October this year, individuals born after 1 July 1997 who are at least 18-years-old, will be able to apply for the visa independent of their BN(O) parent.
Are you a Non-British family member of British nationals who live in Ukraine?
You are being offered a temporary visa concession to come to the UK.
You do not have to be Ukrainian to qualify.
It is open for people of any nationality, except those who are British.
Those with the right of abode can work, study and live in the UK without ever having to apply for a visa.
All British citizens have the right of abode in the UK as well as some individuals from Commonwealth countries.
Are you entitled to free NHS health care? Not everyone is. The Ordinarily Residence Tool is used to help the authorities assess an individual’s entitlement to NHS services. Immigrants living in the UK and some British citizens (who have lived abroad and are returning to settle) will need to pass the test.
The report examined the identification of vulnerable passengers at ‘egates’ as well as the training provided to UK Border Force.
In December 2021, the UK Government announced plans to make it easier for landlords to check the legal status of their prospective tenants. The changes mean that landlords will be able to carry out eligibility checks digitally, without needing to check physical documents.
The Health and Care visa scheme is to be expanded in an attempt to try and boost the social care workforce. This follows the recent £462.5 million investment in the Workforce Recruitment and Retention Fund and the £500 million investment as part of the Health and Social Care Levy.
