One silver lining. My girlfriend was destroyed by the stress of having to find a job in 3 months. Bear I'm mind jobs that will sponsor a visa are pretty damn rare, and plenty of places turned her away once she applied or even added an extra line to the job description after she'd been turned away. Perfect example of how little the average UK person knows or cares about expats who aren't from the EU or people who need visas.

Neither of them now live in the UK because they couldn't feasibly acquire the necessary VISA in time, it will most likely take them year's to get to the required situation.

I think, from what I’ve read, it seems like a pretty good system, and although everything has its flaws (as a UK citizen), I believe it will benefit us quite a bit.

I just want to get out of the us. Kinda hard to do that having a work limiting disability :/

There are many aspects of the current immigration process that is a pain to deal with and I'm hoping that this new process would improve this. I'm a non EU citizen on a tier 2 work visa and the company that hired me spent around a few thousand pounds for the visa sponsorship process and on top of that they have a small and limited quota of work visas they can sponsor each year. All these barriers currently make it really difficult to get a job. Most companies only see it to be worth the hassle of spending thousands of pounds, and using up their limited quota if they're hiring for senior level roles, unless you happen to be really lucky like me. If the new system doesn't make it cheaper or get rid of visa quotas for each company, lowering the salary requirements isn't going to do that much as companies will only want to sponsor really senior roles anyway, making the salary threshold meaningless.

Interestingly from what I’ve read they aren’t changing the Visa I’m on. I am an Australian living in the UK on an Ancestral Visa. It has 3 requirements. Be 18, be a commonwealth citizen, and have at least 1 grandparent be born in the UK it gives you unrestricted working and studying capabilities in the UK for 5 years. I don’t know how I feel about these changes I think no matter what the UK will now struggle to get skilled European workers because they have so many easier options.

This system DOESN’T take into account those low skilled workers who come to the uk to do jobs that most drifts DON’T want to do. Yes there are job’s out there that almost all the employees are foreigners- job’s that most brits would turn their nose up at. Such as working on farms. They will need to add these to their shortage jobs list in the future otherwise these things could struggle. Not all farm jobs can be automated. Some fruit /veg has to be picked by hand as it is too delicate to have a machine do it or machines wouldn’t work in amongst certain plants etc. So this system although good for bringing more jobs to brits in the future also will put businesses out of businesses and could cause problems unless they create a shortages list where unneeded low skilled jobs get exceptions and so extra points.

Who wouldn't "turn their nose up" at a job that pays minimum wage for only one season a year?? You can't build a career on doing farm work for a few months and being unemployed the rest of the year. Your state requires season workers for seasonal work.

This video was really interesting! Admittedly, I hadn’t read the government document, I’d mainly just seen the headlines, and the two sectors that, as far as I know, will potentially suffer from the changes (because of the view the government has that the highest paid jobs are the most skilled) are health/social care and agriculture. As someone from a rural area of the UK, we know that the farms would potentially not survive without the EU citizens that come for seasonal work. That is not going to be above the pay threshold or require qualifications, so unless farms manage to recruit enough British people they just won’t have enough people to do the work. The same with social carers, a large percentage of whom are also EU citizens who would face the exact same problem. This system (like government proposals in general) appears to have a bias towards people moving to London (who will automatically be paid more due to the higher cost of living) and those entering into either corporate jobs, research, or academia: pretty much the only jobs that would require a PHD. I hope some more nuance is added into the system when they flesh it out a bit more, because it could end up actually being not too bad, like you said, but I think a lot of British people find it hard to not be cynical about the government - particularly about Boris...

I want to work in the global sector for the environment and now the hoops to jump through to do so is unreal.

Now when I apply for visas I have to do twice as much in order to get through. But it goes both ways, by the UK closing its border many people who many not be technically qualified but want to come make a life here will be deterred. It's a shame but it's going to make work between countries difficult and will prohibit people who may just want to try and better their lives through other means of productivity to come here. I think there's a way of tightening immigration without completely bottlenecking the process but I just don't know what that is.

Our wages are pennies (literally) above national minimum and that's for UK born (as I am) and non-UK citizens. This means that, as workers change and up-grade their jobs, the pool quality will be diluted. I work along with three European people - they are exceptionally hard and dedicated workers but under the new arrangements they wouldn't be allowed in. Also, what hasn't been mentioned (I haven't read the press release used in this vid, so it may be there) is the 'London balance' - i.e., people who work in London get around 20% higher wages to cover the extra cost of living in the Capital, so shouldn't there be two sets of minimum wage requirements?

@junior "all that at the expense of our culture being completely diminished" How exactly has EU membership diminished British culture? Go from the UK, to Italy, to Finland, to Portugal and you'll find a widely different array of culture. " no meaningful role in the world whatsoever." We had massive influence both in terms of a political level and a regulatory level in the EU. The UK had been the leading voice for Alanticism and free trade, and pushed hard for expansion and free movement. The EU would be unrecognisable without UK membership. " the justification for all this free roaming bs was so that country’s could snatch low skilled workers from poor countries, not out of empathy or mutual respect for other European countries. plus everyone who has ever worked in construction in the uk knows that brits are most efficient at it." The actual leaders of the construction industry have been telling the country that Brexit (and especially this form of hard Brexit with no FOM) will be very damaging.

Important to note that Irish citizens are still being treated nearly the same as British citizens under the Common Travel Area too. Edit: Oh I see you mentioned that. Some lovely flowery language there to try and sell the removal of freedom of movement rights in the EEA and Switzerland (exc Ireland) from Brits and the removal of FOM rights in UK from Europeans as being "fairer", as though it was somehow Europeans' fault that the Home Office chose to be so nasty to everyone else in the world.

Being living in the UK for a couple months now, and getting jobs for family members, I think the 70% number is missleading. My family members are working either in cleaning or as a caretaker, both those works get reported bellow the 20k pounds mark due to how bonus work / multiple companies wiring the same person. And what I've found is 1: UK citizens DONT WANT to do those jobs. 2: companies only pay minimum amounts and so UK citizens (again) dont want to take those jobs

Won't lie this scares me, as a UK citizen, to see this kind of level of immigration restriction. Always thought of the UK as a country that accepts as many people in as possible but as I have grown up I have come to realise that it was not the case and there are many people who don't share my welcoming opinion.
