LONDON — Britain’s Home Office tightened visa regulations for skilled workers Tuesday, forcing employers to prove they had no option before hiring a foreigner.
The change is part of a full overhaul of Britain’s immigration system that will affect students, workers and temporary visitors and that is meant to make the process of choosing who is allowed into the country more selective. It is modeled on Australia’s strict point system for granting visas.
Under the new rules, potential workers will be evaluated based on their age, their ability to speak English and how much they earn. Potential migrants earning more than $48,000 would have a simpler time than those earning less.
