UK Government Revises Family Visa Salary Threshold Amid Backlash and Chaos

The UK government has reversed its plans to increase the salary threshold for Britons bringing family members to the country to £38,700, instead setting it at £29,000 initially with further increases at unspecified dates. The change comes after pressure to tighten controls on legal migration due to record levels of people coming to the UK. The Home Office has confirmed that those renewing a family visa will not have to meet the new earnings threshold, and the Liberal Democrats have criticized the planned £38,700 threshold as "unworkable."

"UK Government Launches Ambitious Plan to Drastically Reduce Immigration"

The UK government is making a renewed effort to reduce immigration, focusing on both legal and illegal migration. Plans for legal migration, including a potential increase in the minimum visa salary, will be announced on Monday. Meanwhile, a treaty with Rwanda is expected to be signed by the Home Secretary, James Cleverly, with a new law introduced in the Commons on Tuesday. However, there is skepticism within the Home Office about exempting the Rwanda plan from the UK's commitments to the European Convention on Human Rights. The effectiveness of these measures in reducing immigration remains uncertain, with doubts raised by Conservative backbenchers and others.

UK Government's New Measures to Reduce Net Migration and Increase Salary Requirements for Skilled Workers

Britain is set to announce changes to its legal migration system in an effort to bring down net migration levels, which reached a record high of 745,000 last year. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak believes that net migration is too high and needs to be significantly reduced. The interior minister, James Cleverly, will provide further details on the measures aimed at reducing legal migration and preventing system abuse. The government aims to address concerns that some migrants, particularly dependents, are not actively contributing to the workforce.
