The existing Home Office guidance has been updated to reflect changes to the Immigration Health Surcharge (IHS) reimbursement service for health and care workers.
On 2 October 2021, the Home Office published guidance to a concession that allows non-visa nationals to enter the UK at the border and work as an HGV fuel tanker driver until 31 March 2022. This comes after the initial press release on 24 October 2021.
A year later, these rules have come into force. As of October 1, 2021, the majority of EU, EEA and Swiss citizens are subject to adhere to the same entry rules as travellers from across the world, which means that they need valid passports to enter the UK.
The UK government has announced that HGV drivers will be eligible for temporary visas from October in response to the current crisis in the UK Haulage industry.
The UK government announced changes to the Immigration Rules and released a policy statement that sets out the detailed rules for the new immigration system on 10 September 2021 (HC 617). Woodcock Law looks briefly at the main changes to UK immigration.
Due to the various changes in the immigration system over the last couple of years, the UK government has recently released the sponsorship system roadmap to assist firms and others regarding the criteria they need to meet when entering the UK via this route.
Right to work checks are a compulsory part of the hiring process for employers in the UK. The Home Office has announced that the temporary relaxed right to work check process has been extended again, this time until 5 April 2022.
