英國實施更嚴格的簽證限制
The United Kingdom has recently overhauled its immigration system, introducing a series of strict reforms detailed in the May 2025 white paper, "Restoring control over the immigration system."
英國近期全面改革了移民制度,並在2025年5月的白皮書《恢復對移民制度的管控》(ㄏㄨㄟˊㄈㄨˋㄉㄨㄟˋㄧˊㄇㄧㄣˊㄓˋㄉㄨˋㄉㄜ˙ㄍㄨㄢˇㄎㄨㄥˋ)中詳細列出了一系列嚴格的改革措施。
For Skilled Worker visas, the minimum skill requirement has been raised to degree-level, and salary compliance is now monitored across every pay period.
對於技術工人簽證,最低技能要求已提高至學位等級,且薪資合規性現在會在每個發薪期進行監控。
A major shift occurred in July 2025 when the Health and Care Worker route for overseas recruitment was closed to address concerns over structural labor dependency.
2025年7月發生了一項重大轉變,醫療與護理工作者(ㄏㄨˋㄌㄧˇㄍㄨㄥㄟㄨㄛˋㄓㄜˇ)的海外招募管道被關閉,以解決對結構性勞動力依賴的擔憂。
Students are also affected; the Graduate visa duration will decrease to 18 months by 2027, and English language requirements for long-term residency will rise to CEFR Level B2.
學生也受到影響;畢業生簽證的期限將在2027年縮短至18個月,而長期居留的英語語言要求將提高至CEFR B2級。
Additionally, the Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) system is now fully operational for non-visa nationals.
