Some countries do this so it shouldn’t be an issue for the UK to do the same

If the job market is as bad as I hear I presume there is no need to grant any visas for unskilled people right now
Makes complete sense to me. If we are getting a large number of asylum seekers from these countries, then ‚very obviously‘ these countries are dangerous and conducting mass persecution of their own population. We should be very careful in allowing people who are obviously on the right side of these clearly ‚brutal and oppressive‘ regimes into the country, right?

When wasn’t this done 10 years ago. Tories were so soft on immigration.
Why do I doubt this? Labour and the conservatives have no intention of stopping immigration and if they did they would have done it by now.
Granted, labour haven’t had the time yet but I would bet my bottom dollar that they won’t have by the end of their term.
With the job market in the shape it is, we need to be very strict on all unskilled visa applications.
We should also be very strict with civil servant roles that offer “sponsorships” which is said not to occur but I’ve witnessed
Once again, sounds like a plan to make it more difficult/impossible for legal migrants, but doing sod all about the thousands illegally crossing the Channel.
Are they toughening up on immigration because Reform is getting closer?
I think its hilarious they are restricting Pakistanis given the Pakistani diaspora have been Labour’s backbone since propelling Tony Blair into power back in ’97.
This is one of those sensible ideas that could have a big impact and cost nothing
Does this impact visitor / tourist visas? The article didn’t mention anything, unless they’re in the same category of something mentioned.
wait a minute, why?
If a big chunk of the issue is „people in the asylum system by coming in via illegal and unsafe methods“, wouldn’t blocking the safe and legal method from said people just encourage more of them to go with these dangerous methods?
Simply too late, and not enough is being done to stop (and reverse existing) mass immigration.
Interesting. So they’re saying that a lot of refugees from these places are coming here on legit visas and then claiming asylum? I wonder how many of their applications are accepted and on what basis they’re accepted and rejected?
A country doesn’t have to be at war to be able to claim asylum. If you’re a journalist for instance trying to uncover government corruption, and the government is actively trying to kill you, then under international law you can claim asylum (quite reasonably so), but I wonder if these people are not being persecuted and essentially abusing the inefficiency with which we process our claims to get an extra year or two in the country on top of their student visas.
Just wanna say, if you want to reduce the number of boats…. This story highlights why those boats exist.
– We have no system for them to claim asylum without being here
– This article shows we’re closing down the none boat routes of getting here to claim asylum.
So that will drive more to boats (1-1 with the number reduced by not having visas to initially get in before claiming but still, more).
So at some point I think the UK needs to be honest and say it doesn’t give a shit about safety or reducing boats, our govt (and many of the population based on this thread) just doesn’t want to be part of the worlds network of advanced societies that help those in need anymore (which is ironic given how much of that need is thanks to us recently cough Iraq/Afghan/Libya etc, or from empire hangover), and wants to retreat to being a little backwater that the world ignores.
We need to add the US to the list pre-emptively, expect there to be a massive wave of departures over the remaining 4 years.
As a person with a Western European partner here on a visa who was concerned about them being swept up in any visa changes which shouldn’t really affect Europeans, I am relieved by this news. No reason to go after them, as Europeans (and other Anglosphere immigrants) are net contributors on average. I think labour know this to their credit.
The blanket policies by the tories were mind boggling in their moronicness.
But done right, these targeted changes will massively curb numbers.
Wouldn’t this just encourage more small boat crossings? Not saying it’s a bad idea but it might create the incentive for illegal entry if they don’t provide a mechanism for genuine asylum claims at the same time.
This is what happens when you become relient on migrants doing unskilled / low paid jobs to keep the economy and certain sectors such as care homes going.
This started over 30 years ago and the Tories under Boris put into overdrive as to make their mates happy because nobody loves paying the minimum than Directors / CEO’s of big multinational companies that are worth hundreds of millions, even billions.
Unfortunately as much as people want it to, it can’t be fixed overnight.
Entire sectors are completely dependent on migrant workers.
Let us use the Care Sector as our example.
In 2023 the Government granted over 350,000 health and Care Worker visas.
The year previous it was 145,823.
32% of health and care workers are taken up by Migrants.
In 2023/24 the NHS and Local Authorities spent £23 billion on Adult Social Care with the costs due to increase by many billions over the next few years and even then it will not be enough.
The reason why 32% of workers are migrants is because British people do not want to do that job which is understandable as it’s a bloody difficult job.
You are going to significantly increase the pay and conditions to attract British People, so where is the money going to come from?
The same problem exists in the NHS, Transport, Hospitality and Communications and IT.
Oh wow, what a ground-breaking new idea if only we had done this 25 years ago.
The UK needs significant immigration overhaul, and I’m saying this as a person who’s here on a temporary visa.
The issue is that UKVI cares about one thing: Money. As long as you can pour thousands of pounds into the black void of admin fees, biometrics fees, expedited processing fees and IHS, especially work visas are laughably easy to get.
Spouse visas require truly astronomical documentation in comparison (mine was 200+ pages, and I’m a simple case) but even then that’s just due to insane paranoia about sham relationships.
Realistically, the system needs to add more qualitative requirements. Denmark is a good example – require a certain level of education, or a higher level of English (A1 for spousal visas is a fucking joke), require a history of employment in your home country, require more spacious accommodation, hell, you can even require civic engagement for extensions.
All of these tools are freely available, yet the only thing that’s done is to up the income requirements and up the fees. It’s incredibly short-sighted.
