01:38and uncover expert tips to stay ahead in the ever-changing UK immigration landscape.

01:50Let's begin with closure of the carer visa route, inside and outside UK.

01:56One of the most notable changes is the termination of the carer visa route, making it impossible for new applicants,

02:05both inside and outside the UK, to apply.

02:08Existing visa holders can extend or switch, but new sponsorships are paused due to rising concerns over exploitation in the sector.

02:18Next, we explore salary threshold increases for skilled worker visas.

02:26The baseline salary requirement under the skilled worker visa has increased from £38,700 to £41,700.

02:36Occupations within care, logistics and hospitality previously eligible for lower salaries will now face stricter thresholds.

02:45Specific job bans such as SW-D or SW-F have been updated with revised payflaws ranging from £31,000 to £37,500.

02:58Then comes launch of the Temporary Shortage Occupation List .

03:05A new six-month Temporary Shortage Occupation List has been introduced, replacing the older system.

03:13While these roles allow for faster visa processing, they do not permit dependents.

03:18Many popular jobs like logistics managers, IT support technicians, welders and data analysts are now included here.

03:26Followed by 111 occupations removed from eligibility.

03:34In an aggressive clean-up, the Home Office has removed 111 job roles from the list of eligible sponsored occupations.

03:43Although a detailed comparison is pending, sources suggest roles in hospitality, for example chefs and care, have been heavily targeted.

03:52Then discuss 180 jobs under review for sponsorship.

03:59While existing sponsored workers remain unaffected, 180 occupations are reportedly under review for future sponsorship restrictions.

04:10Employers planning new sponsorships must check the updated eligibility criteria.

04:15And finally, we conclude with the conclusion.

04:20The UK's immigration strategy is entering a decisive phase with tighter controls and salary-based selection.

04:29Prospective applicants and business owners must carefully assess these new rules before proceeding with sponsorship or business expansion.
