Hi everyone! There is a lot of ambiguity around the new visa rules announced by the UK a few days back, especially about the skilled worker visa salary requirement. I would recommend you to study the documents I have added to the description and also speak to a solicitor who can guide you better in this situation. I know that a lot of you are quite concerned after the recent announcements. I am not an expert in immigration laws, but I hope this video will give you some direction to think about. You can find "70% of going rate" for different job roles under this rule using the link below. But as per the current rules your salary needs to be at least £20,960 per year after 70% deduction. Let's see if the government will change this rule or not, and in the future if this list will be revised or the government may calculate 70% of £38,700 or delete this clause altogether. www.gov.uk/government/publications/skilled-worker-visa-eligible-salary-if-youre-under-26-studying-training-or-in-a-postdoctoral-role/skilled-worker-visa-minimum-salary-if-youre-under-26-studying-training-or-in-a-postdoctoral-role
First time watching your video. Very impressed with your flow of information and research. I knew about it before but never saw any main-stream UK study/migration content youtuber covering. I also did not find anything related to New entrant rule change. Also, I have the same scenario. I am currently on a graduate visa which will be expiring by July next year. I am working for a major UK retail chain in their head office. But my salary is still not reaching that 38.7k mark. My company does sponsor for my role but this new salary threshold would make me ineligible under government rules. I am pushing my management to expedite the skilled worker visa before April so I don't have to look into new entrant. If not, then that is the only option I have left with.
In 2007, I came to the UK as a student and worked as a research technician under the PSW category for 2 years. Subsequently, my university/employer sponsored me for another 4 years at a salary of £20,000. Meanwhile, UKBA rules changed, and the new rules insisted that the same job has to be a PhD-level job with increased requirements of £27000 when you apply for tier 2 renewal. Despite lacking a PhD, my employer raised my salary and facilitated a work permit. Yes, UKBA can change goalposts, and the rules of the day apply when it comes to renewal at least in my case.
@@SR07317 if you get the visa before the rules come in, then they cannot make you ineligible unless when you look for its renewal after it expires or you have committed a crime in UK.
@@SR07317 I had 3 COS issues between 2010 and 2015, of which 2 were based on the old rules before applying the final COS, the rules changed and I needed to meet the new requirement. Yes,it only become an issue when you renew
Thank you bro! You have significantly enhanced the clarity of the entire situation. Could you kindly elaborate on how the time period for ILR would be calculated assuming the persistence of the "70% policy"? Additionally, in the event that our assumptions materialize, are there any policies governing extensions to the stipulated '4-year time limit'?
I'm bit confused. Please care to resolve it. I'm from Sep'23 intake. Will I be eligible for this 70 percent rule based on the 2nd point of 26 year old rule??
Got good clarity through your videos. Can you make a video as to how we can approach an employer if they ask about how can they sponcer us. ( I am a recent graduate in marketing from Glasgow university and felt that as an applicant often we have to let the employers know that I want to go ahead with sponcership and the requirements around the same to provide them the clarity and that I am eligible for getting one. So if you can make a video as to how to best mentioned it on resume and how should we approach/ employeers about sponcership.
It’s called new entrant rule and it will be there in the future but the salary level might be increased, which is 70% of 38700! So it should be around 27k! So it won’t be easy for graduates and will create more competition in the job market! This is just a speculation!
Hello! I have a question just to make sure I understand this right. Let's say a student graduates, and he/she is on their post-work visa, getting a job that pays 23K. According to the new rule, they won't receive sponsorship, and their visa won't be extended because 23K doesn't fall under the 70% limit. We can't discuss this 70% because anything could happen
Also, the home office has historically put transitional measures in place whenever salary thresholds have been raised. So people who will renew their skilled worker visas will renew under the same rules that were in force when their first COS was issued. This was the case when the threshold raised by 5K in 2016. I certainly expect to be the same when the thresholds have raised by more than 10K.
Hey, just a quick question on the 70% clause. What if I was on a student visa, completed my degree in May this year however I switched to a dependent skilled workers visa in September 2022. If I want to become the primary visa holder will this apply to me?
Any idea i am on a sponsored visa for three years so will ai need to fulfill the new income required when i go to renew or will i still be eligble for the old income threshold?
How are people supposed to manage in the UK with a 40 K salary ? Why not just stay in India and make 20 L as SE or college professors or open up a shop and make 40-50 L a year in tier2/3 city ? Am i missing something?
Does the 4 years time limit means the person can not continue his sponsored work after the 4 years time limit is over? How to renew then if someone wants to continue to stay and work?
Bro, at 5:29 you said, 80% discount had been given for jobs on the occupation list. However, the updated announcement says that the 80% discount will no longer apply to all occupations. Now, individuals need to earn at least $38,700 according to the threshold, and their job must be on the occupational list. Furthermore, they are planning to eliminate some occupations from the list as well.
According to the clause you mentioned, People who studied in UK and are on graduate visa at the moment, then the most recent visa will be graduate visa, right?( not student/visit visa) Please correct me if I am wrong. Thank you.
Can anyone explain the current work visa situation in the UK? Since the salary requirement is now set at £38,700, how can you extend your work visa if your salary is below this amount? - should I still come to UK for my Postgraduation in hopes of getting a job after studies.
Hey ritwik I am 22 .I am planning to come to uk for my masters in business analytics from Lancaster uni in oct 2024. After hearing this news that to get skilled worker visa one needs to earn almost 40k pounds. Should I consider coming to uk or drop the idea?
I got early year practitioner cos.. i got visa also 10 days back.. salary is 26200/.. my joining date is 2nd january.. my husband has slot today.. apply for visa done.. new rules will be any problem for us.. my husband will come vissa? plz reply me sir
Hi Ritwik , Brother do u have any idea about :- if spouse was in my dependent when i was studying now i am in PSW can my wife take admission in university and get psw and i become her dependent, I am blessed with baby also will it give any benefits? In uk
I could be wrong but from what I have researched. A person can avail PSW only once (be it the PSW holder or their dependent). So one cannot abuse this system so both spouse avail this visa at different times. For baby, I think you may get some type of benefits.
I'm currently in PSW, and with this 30% discount, I'll be eligible for skilled worker visa. Now my question is, will I be able to bring one dependant, on a dependant visa with this 30% discount rule ? or do I have to earn £38,700 ? Please can anybody clarify !
I think these rules will not be applicable on students already studying in uk. coz they are banning dependents, skilled visa is almost finished, students will not come then their NHS will crash within 1 year.
People won't study nursing as you pay 9k a year to work 50hrs. Once this is sorted the fees go down etc. There's reason for it petal. Stay mad though also, ppl will still vang down the door for the nhs jobs. Most leave their families at home anyway. Had an affair with a Indian Dr awhile back lol left his wife and kids back home.

It has been slightly increased for renewals also. Many latest video has explained the rule. You can watch it :)
Hi, this salary range is applied on health professionals like dental nurse , dental hygienist who are already in uk with dependents.

How much salary required if now i want to change sponsorship. i came in uk on nov 8 last year on skilled worker visa
Hii in 25 and im turning 26 in november 2024 .
And my current salary is 24k am i eligible for this route. ?
No it's been changed again
Any idea i am on a sponsored visa for three years so will ai need to fulfill the new income required when i go to renew or will i still be eligble for the old income threshold?
The previous income threshold will only apply if your job falls within the healthcare sector; otherwise, it won't be eligible.
New income threshold I'm afraid

Yes, graduate visa would be most recent. But graduate visa holders are also entitled to get 70% of going rate
Does visit visa include - Depends Visa or not ?? To qualify that 70% deduction. Point 2

If the 70% rule remains unchanged then no
Good information love from Nepal 🇳🇵
What about calling a dependent on a skilled worker visa.
Hi Ritwik ,
Brother do u have any idea about :- if spouse was in my dependent when i was studying now i am in PSW can my wife take admission in university and get psw and i become her dependent,
I am blessed with baby also will it give any benefits? In uk
I could be wrong but from what I have researched.
A person can avail PSW only once (be it the PSW holder or their dependent). So one cannot abuse this system so both spouse avail this visa at different times.
For baby, I think you may get some type of benefits.
is it worth comming to UKin 2024?
I will apply restaurant work permit if my yearly salary less than 38700 can i get the visa?
I'm currently in PSW, and with this 30% discount, I'll be eligible for skilled worker visa. Now my question is, will I be able to bring one dependant, on a dependant visa with this 30% discount rule ? or do I have to earn £38,700 ? Please can anybody clarify !
What if you are on internship through campus placement route?
