The Points-based immigration system and the status of EU citizens

What is the points-based system? What is a salary threshold? How do I become a licenced sponsor? What do I need to do for my EU national employees? 

On the 1st January 2021 free movement ended and the UK introduced a new points-based immigration system. The new system treats EU and non-EU citizens equally and has transformed the way in which all people come to the UK to work and study. Anyone coming to the UK to work or study, excluding Irish citizens, will need to apply for permission in advance. 

Please join Business Wales and Home Office officials for an introduction to the new points-based immigration system and an overview of the status of EU citizens 

This session will cover: 

  • An introduction to the points-based immigration system 
  • The skilled worker visa 
  • How to become a Home Office sponsor
