The UK Government has published its latest Statement of Changes to the Immigration Rules ('the Rules') on 9 March 2023.

A number of the changes being implemented were expected in November 2022, but were subsequently delayed due to reshuffles in Home Office appointments.

The changes which will affect the largest number of migrants are:

the formal introduction of the Electronic Travel Authorisation ('ETA') scheme into the Rules from 12 April 2023
increases in the gross annual minimum salary thresholds for sponsored workers assigned a Certificate of Sponsorship on or after 12 April 2023:
from £25,600 to £26,200 for Skilled Workers; and
from £42,400 to £45,800 for Senior/ Specialist Workers
from £42,400 to £45,800 for UK Expansion Workers
modification of the 'going rates' for various occupation types, including the calculation for pro-rating salaries in line with contractual hours on or after 12 April 2023
rebrand of the Innovator route as 'Innovator Founder' and removal of the £50,000 capital requirement on 13 April 2023
ETA
ETA is being introduced to enhance UK border control and give law enforcement authorities more time and information to assess whether travellers not requiring a visa for the UK present a security or other risk prior to their arrival in the UK.

This will align the UK with similar schemes in place for the USA, Canada, Australia and soon to be introduced for Schengen Member States.

The UK's ETA scheme provides that all international travellers (with the exception of British and Irish citizens and individuals already holding a UK visa) will need some form of authorisation in advance to enter or transit through the UK, or entry to the UK may be denied. ETA will be required by visitors, short term students and sponsored Creative Workers classified as 'non-visa nationals', who until now have been able to seek permission for up to three months on arrival in the UK.

The Rules governing ETA's operation and function in border control will take effect on 12 April 2023 for individuals participating in private pilots and will be fully implemented in four phases over the coming 18 months:

From 15 November 2023, Qatari citizens not already in possession of a valid UK visa will require valid ETA prior to travelling to the UK
From 15 February 2024, this will be extended to citizens of Bahrain, Jordan, Kuwait, Oman, Saudi Arabia and United Arab Emirates
extension of ETA requirements to all other nationalities to be rolled out in two further phases by Autumn 2024.
Individuals can apply for ETA online or using a dedicated app and a decision should be expected within three working days. An ETA will be issued electronically and linked to the passport used in the application, valid for two years or the remaining passport validity if less. The ETA application fee is yet to be announced but is expected to be under £10. If an individual is refused ETA, they will need to apply for a visa in the category appropriate to their stay instead.

Introduction of the Innovator Founder route
The Innovator route was introduced in March 2019 as a replacement for the Tier 1 (Entrepreneur) route which closed at the same time.

Under the original Innovator criteria, individuals with £50,000 in capital to invest in their own new 'viable, scalable, innovative' business in the UK could apply to Home Office approved third party 'endorsing bodies' for endorsement of their business and credentials, and once secured, apply for an Innovator visa. The latest Statement of Changes rebrands Innovator as 'Innovator Founder' and implements the following changes:

removes the £50,000 capital requirement for initial eligibility (noting investment of this sum is one of the eventual settlement criteria)
for the first time, permits 'secondary' employment (in a business other than the endorsed business for which they hold the Innovator visa) where the additional work is skilled to at least RQF Level 3 (A level/ secondary school leaver or above) and
allows use of a dedicated Home Office app to complete biometric enrolment.
If an individual is on a current Innovator visa, Start Up visa or Tier 1 (Graduate Entrepreneur), extensions or switching into this route will be available. Settlement is also available after three years on an Innovator Founder visa provided the settlement requirements are also met.

These changes will be implemented on Thursday 13 April 2023.

Updates to sponsored work routes
MINIMUM SALARIES FOR SPONSORED ROLES
Salary thresholds for sponsored work routes have been increased and 'going rates' for individual occupations are being updated based on the latest available UK salary data, the rationale being to bring them into line with the rising cost of living in the UK.

For individuals sponsored from 12 April 2023, the minimum gross annual salary threshold for a Skilled Worker visa will be £26,200, for Global Mobility Senior and Specialist Workers will be £45,800 and for Global Mobility UK Expansion Workers will be £45,800. The minimum going rates for each occupation type are being updated, with the minimum possible hourly salary being increased to £10.75 per hour (currently £10.10) and annualised going rates being recalibrated to a 37.5 hour working week (currently 39 hours), meaning that previous calculations for pro-rating salaries based on contractual hours must be adjusted to confirm a role's suitability for sponsorship.

The updates also allow workers following working shift patterns or irregular hours each week to have their average hours over a maximum 17 week work cycle recognised towards meeting the minimum salary requirements.

These changes relate to Skilled Worker, Global Business Mobility ('GBM'), Scale-Up and Seasonal Worker routes.

OTHER CHANGES INCLUDE:
GBM UK Expansion Worker route – Australian nationals applying under the GBM UK Expansion Worker route will not need to demonstrate that they have worked for their employer for 12 months prior to the application to facilitate international trade between the UK and Australia
Youth Mobility Scheme visa – Under a bilateral arrangement, New Zealand nationals are now able to apply for the Youth Mobility Scheme until age 35 (previously restricted to applicants aged 18-30) and the length of stay has been increased from two to three years
Global Talent - Global Talent visas allow an individual to work in the UK if they are a leader or potential leader in academia or research, arts and culture, or digital technology. Changes are being made to the endorsement criteria and evidential requirements. In addition, time spent in the UK with permission as a Representative of an Overseas Business may be included as part of the continuous residence period for Global Talent settlement applications
Employment continuity - attending court as a witness and jury service are being added to the list of reasons where absence from employment is permitted when considerations about employment continuity are made, for example in settlement applications
Occupation codes - Applicants in certain sponsored routes may change occupation code as part of a graduate training programme
These updates will be implemented on Wednesday 12 April 2023.

Returning resident
The returning resident Rules currently do not allow someone whose indefinite leave to enter or remain in the UK (settlement) has lapsed through absence for more than two years from the UK to apply as a returning resident, able to be considered settled on return to the UK, where they have been admitted to the UK as a visitor since their settled status lapsed.

In a widening of the Rules, these are now being changed to allow individuals to resume their settlement, even if they have been since admitted to the UK as a visitor (but not received temporary permission in another category such as a Skilled Worker). These returning resident applications must be made from outside the UK, and usually require substantial evidence of continuing connections to the UK and intention to resume or continue long-term residence in the UK.

Settlement on the basis of long residence
The current 'long residence' Rules allow time spent in the UK in any lawful immigration category, including visitor, academic visitor, medical visitor, marriage visitor, domestic worker in a private household, short term student and other temporary routes, to be counted towards the 10 year qualifying period for settlement.

On 13 April 2023, the Rules are being tightened to prevent time in the UK in these temporary categories being counted as qualifying for settlement where:

the maximum grant of permission in the category is 12 months or less, and
switching onto another route is not permitted from within the UK.
In a move to change Rules which will have retrospective effect for individuals applying from 13 April 2023 onwards, prospective applicants who are currently hoping to count historic time spent in the UK in one of the newly prohibited routes may find they are no longer eligible.

Further, individuals who have held permission in an accepted route prior to a period of stay in a newly prohibited route may find their qualifying residence as having been broken by that stay, which could mean the difference between being eligible or not, or the qualifying period being unexpectedly extended by years.

EU Settlement Scheme ('EUSS')
Expansion of the Rules for qualifying EEA/Swiss nationals and their family members include the following technical amendments:

'Durable partners' may apply under the EUSS where they were lawfully resident in the UK before the end of the transition period, including where they were not issued a Home Office document as a durable partner under the EEA Regulations prior to 1 June 2021
New provisions for non-EEA/Swiss national primary carers of British citizens ('Zambrano' carers) and of self-sufficient EU citizen children ('Chen' parents) and children in education in the UK where the parent is an EU citizen former worker or self-employed person in the UK and the child’s primary carer ('Ibrahim & Teixeira' children) be eligible to apply for pre-settled and settled status where they arrived in the UK under an EUSS family permit.
Notably, the Home Office has not taken the opportunity in this round of Rules changes to address the current illegality of the settled status requirements found by the High Court in its the judgment Independent Monitoring Authority v Secretary of State for the Home Department [2022] EWHC 3274 (Admin), previously reported by our team in February 2023.

New Child joining a Non-Parent Relative (Protection) category
A new Child joining a Non-Parent Relative (Protection) category is being introduced and replaces the existing provisions for children of a relatives in the UK as a refugee or beneficiary of humanitarian protection.

Adult Dependent Relative (ADR)
The ADR route allows an individual with ongoing care needs to live with a qualifying close relative (sponsor) who is in the UK, provided the applicant can demonstrate the relationship and that as a result of age, illness or disability, that they require a level of long-term personal care that can only be provided in the UK by their sponsor.

An applicant whose carer has temporary permission to stay in the UK will be granted permission which expires in line with their sponsor’s.

The Statement of Changes now provides for an applicant to be granted immediate settlement, where their sponsor is a British Citizen or settled in the UK.

Applicants who fail certain suitability grounds (eg have unpaid litigation debt or involvement in a sham marriage/civil partnership), but their removal would breach Article 8 of the European Convention of Human Rights may apply for temporary permission attracting a longer qualifying period than the standard route.

The ADR route in recent years has attracted a very high refusal rate due to the Home Office's rigid interpretations of whether the applicant can afford or access suitable professional care in their home country, with most applications being successful on appeal. It will remain to be seen whether this expansion of the category to allow immediate settlement for successful dependants of British and settled individuals will be reflected in a more open approach to being cared for by relatives in the UK in the grant of more applications.

Technical Changes to Administrative Review
A change is being made to tighten Administrative Review Rules so that where a person is refused on both suitability and eligibility grounds, there is no right to Administrative Review meaning a fresh application will be required in these instances. This does not prevent an appeal being submitted where a right of appeal on Human Rights grounds is available.

URGENT UK TRAVEL ANNOUNCEMENT:

From 4am on 6 December, Nigeria will be added to the red list for international travel to England.

This follows 21 recent cases of COVID-19 variant B.1.1.529 (Omicron) linked to travel from Nigeria.

From 4am on 6 December, UK and Irish citizens and residents arriving from Nigeria must isolate in a government approved managed quarantine facility for 10 days, and receive two PCR tests, as the UK government takes further precautionary action against the Omicron variant.

From 4am on 6 Dec a temporary travel ban will be introduced for non-UK and non-Irish citizens and residents who've been in Nigeria in the previous 10 days, meaning they will be refused entry into the UK. This doesn't apply to those staying airside and only transiting through.

The alternative and cheaper route to education for relocating to the UK is the Skilled Worker's Visa for graduates who have two years work experience in the shortage occupation and or eligible occupation.
You earn more points and get jobs faster if you are in the shortage occupation.

See link below.

This particular skilled workers visa with citizenship pathway made its debut in January of 2021

Like with every other job related application abroad it is usually easier to use the services of Licensed Immigration Consultants. I am not saying you can't do it your self, it just might take a longer time.

The pros are.

1. The process is quite transparent and easy.

2. You are prepared by your case officer for your interview before they allow you take the main interview.

3. You jump into working full time and so also does your spouse.

4. It is a legitimate pathway to citizenship as your visa duration is for either three or five years. If you apply for three years the lawyers help extend your visa and you don't need a sponsor to have same extended towards your 5th year mark.

The Cons

1. The lawyers bill of £4000 is heavy(paid in two installments) though still cheaper than paying school fees.

2. Though you are prepared for an interview the weight of passing the interview which in turn gives you the offer of employment is on you. If you fail the interview and the several others they would schedule you would not be able to proceed with the application. And your initial fees of £2000 is non refundable.

3. The processing time is 3-6months.

A rough calculation of the cost of skilled workers visa for the UK is

Visa fees for 3 years £464
Health Surcharge £624
Education Report £140
IELTS £250

1088+390

£1,478 in addition to £4000

If your husband/wife comes under you he pays £1,088.

You £ 5,478.00
Husband/wife. £1,088.00

£6,566.00 for both of you.
In Naira even with the black market rate is about N4.99M

NB
£1,555 is proof of funds for yourself and one dependent.

Additional dependent pays visa fees and an additional £200 for proof of funds.

The United Kingdom completed the Brexit transition on 2nd January 2021, and has started the new UK Skilled Worker visa program.

The Skilled Worker Visa was introduced on 1 December 2020, and replaced the Tier 2 (General) visa. Under the new points-based immigration system, the Skilled Worker Visa is now the main immigration route for non British and Irish individuals who wish to work in the UK.

After five years of this visa, you can obtain the permanent visa (ILR), and in year 6, obtain a British passport and citizenship.

You can apply for a skilled worker program if you have a job offer from an approved employer in the United Kingdom.

UK vs Canada

Unlike Canada, where applicants first apply for the skilled based visa and then must go and find a job once the visa is received, the UK has a reverse engineered approach.

– Show that you have a verified job offer from a Home Office Licensed Sponsor

– Show that the job offer is at the required skill level.



– Show that you can prove you meet the required standard of English language

A total of 70 points is needed to be able to apply to work in the UK, and having an approved employer job offer for a skilled job will qualify for 40 points.

You can also gain extra points for having better qualifications:

– 10 for relevant PhD

– 20 points for a science, technology, engineering of maths PhD,

– 20 points if the UK has a shortage of a specific job offer

How do I get a job in the UK from Nigeria?

You can actually get a job in the UK from Nigeria.
The UK government has a shortage occupation list[1] (Which they update occasionally). If your background is not on the list, your application will be subjected to a test called resident labour market test[2].

Essentially, this means that the job must be advertised for a long period of time and it must be established that they couldn't find a UK resident to fill that position. They must do this before employing anyone from outside the UK.

Note that if your background is in the professional medical sciences, nursing, social works then today is a good day for you because these occupations are not subject to the test.
You only need to know how to play your cards right from CV submission to final interview stage.

The most important part of your question is how?

These are the most used job sites in the UK: Indeed, Reed, Glassdoor, Total, Guardian jobs, Prospects, Milkround.

Make sure you pay attention to the candidate requirements. Do not waste your time applying for jobs which you are not qualified for.

Nigeria's hyperfaith rhetorics do not work in the United Kingdom ☺️.
