The Home Office has announced major reform of the Immigration Rules and the changes come into effect from 22 July 2025.
New rules were laid in Parliament on the 1st July 2025, which will see skills and salary thresholds rise to the previously set RQF level 6, overseas recruitment for care workers to end, and between 100 and 180 occupations no longer eligible under the skilled worker visa route.
The new Immigration Rules are scheduled to come into force on 22 July 2025, pending Parliament’s approval.
