Today Suella Braverman confirmed that net migration is at a continuous rise, leading to a possible increase to 700,000 (reported by the BBC). We will explore on how UK Immigration is impacting industries and our economy.
Prime Minister Rishi Sunak will meet Supermarkets and Business Leaders at 10 Downing Street to discuss the continued rise of food prices and how this can be brought down. I am sure the topic of immigration, labour market and its impact will be part of the conversation.
The impact to immigration changes & British politics
I am sure everyone has realised now that Nigel Farage blaming immigration on the living crisis, is an incorrect statement and that we now have rising challenges post Brexit.
At ICS Legal, we see the change of fluxes with new immigration categories being brought in to make the UK a country to be on a level playing field like other growing nations.
UK Immigration has been a key topic in the media with Brexit and Government votes over the last decade, where it has been seen in shades by UK residents. The right balance is difficult but attracting both entrepreneurs & businesses are important to help us with the new challenges we are facing.
We feel, Trade Minister Nigel Huddleston said it well to Times Radio “every now and again we also need more people to come into the country,” but the “key thing” was to have control. I agree to this.
We can appreciate the continued challenges a Prime Minister faces to balance the books in order to listen to voters as well as businesses ensuring they can operate sufficiently. We need to consider that we live in a country that is affected by changes around the globe.
There are great businesses being set up every day globally, the UK needs to be an attractive country where business can be set up, which in turn helps local communities in terms of job creation.
ICS Legal & sponsor licence
As a Law Firm based in London, our Immigration Lawyers see constant challenges that enterprises face in securing talented people.
The rise in Sponsor License applications is clearly indication, where a business needs to register to employ migrants that require to come under the skilled worker visa.
Our Immigration Lawyers work with enterprises to secure the best talent across the globe and helping on the skilled worker visas. As to a sponsorship process, an organisation is required to prove that the business is established in the UK, has the financial means and a robust HR system on place.
Once applied for a sponsor licence, a Certificate of Sponsorship is issued to the individual to then apply for the skilled worker visa.
New visa routes for entrepreneurs
Immigration changes are compulsory, so the new Innovator Founder visa route is aimed to streamline the prospect for a business to establish itself here.
In short, the Innovator Founder visa is change in dynamic to what we had previously which was the start-up and innovator visa. The concept remains the same of its predecessors, but the business needs to be scalable, innovative and something different to what is available in the current market.
Our Immigration Lawyers works with both entrepreneurs and start-up businesses, supporting them in business plans to endorsing bodies application to the immigration applications under the innovator founder visa.
