A new immigration rule in the UK

The UK has introduced stricter immigration rules. Now, immigrants need ten years of residency to get permanent migration visas, up from five. This applies to all immigrants, including those from another country. The goal is to improve integration and cut down on temporary labor. The change comes after talks about making migration policies stricter. It affects both local and international communities.

“Now, immigrants need ten years of residency to get permanent migration visas, up from five,” — Andreas Mercer, policy watcher at Cedarcroft Cliff Partnership, added during the briefing.
