00:58The UK is set to implement several important changes to its immigration and visa policies in 2025.

01:11From updates to the post-study work visa to increased salary thresholds and new skill requirements for work visas,

01:18these developments will impact students, skilled workers and their families.

01:25The full version of this update is available on our website, link in the description below.

01:30Let's begin with UK post-study work visa duration and eligibility.

01:39The UK continues to offer a two-year PSW visa for bachelor's and master's graduates

01:45and a three-year visa for PhD holders.

01:48No rule changes have taken effect yet,

01:51but any updates will be closely watched by international students.

01:55Next, we explore the increased salary threshold for skilled workers.

02:05The minimum salary for skilled worker visas is rising to £41,700,

02:11up from £38,700.

02:15Roles now require at least a diploma or degree,

02:18as the standard is shifting from RQF Level 3 to Level 6.

02:23These changes mean applicants must have higher qualifications

02:27and a job offer with an increased salary.

02:31Moving on to the care worker route closure.

02:36The care worker and senior care worker routes, heavily used since 2022,

02:42are closing for new overseas applicants after July 2025,

02:47although those already on these visas can stay during the transition period.

02:53Then, we examine the changes to indefinite leave to remain.

03:01Indefinite leave to remain currently requires five years' residence,

03:05but there's a proposal to extend this to 10 years.

03:09Dependents arriving after January 2026 must pass a basic English test,

03:14and employers must confirm job skills and university qualifications.

03:20Following that, we look at alternative UK visa pathways,

03:24including youth mobility, charity, seasonal and religious work visas.

03:31Options like the youth mobility visa, charity work visa,

03:35seasonal work visa and religious work visa remain open for eligible candidates.

03:40These pathways offer various lengths of stay from six months to two years

03:46and often allow family members to accompany the main applicant.

03:52Next, we discuss job search strategies and avoiding agents.

03:59Applicants are encouraged to apply directly to UK employers

04:03and avoid third-party agents.

04:06Plenty of jobs are available in supermarkets, hotels, construction, care, warehousing and delivery sectors,

04:14many of which can lead to visa sponsorship.

04:19Finally, we wrap up with the conclusion.

04:21Understanding the latest UK immigration changes is crucial for anyone planning to study, work or settle in the UK.

04:33Make informed choices, use legitimate resources and explore all available visa options for your future.
