Visa Restrictions For Post-Study Immigrants Shed By United Kingdom Government

The current Prime Minister of the United Kingdom has recently announced that the government has decided on changing the way post-study work visas work in the country. This is good news for all of the immigrant students in the UK. According to the most recent report from Boris Johnson, Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, the new work visa for post-study immigrant students would allow them to work in the country even after they graduate. The work visa would allow them to do that for two years.

This surely is good news as it would mean that those immigrant students in the country would be able to explore their options in terms of employment in the UK. They can use the information and skills that they have learned while studying in the country and further develop them while still in the country. It can serve as a way for them to further hone their skills and add more knowledge before they would go back to their home countries.

Compared to the previous post-study work visa

In 2012, Theresa May had worked on the post-study work visa. May was the home secretary at that time. Her decision on the post-study work visa had caused people to discuss it at length if it was a good one or not. What May did was to take out the post-study work visa out of the picture as she believes that it would be the best way for the government to be able to achieve the goal of lessening the number of immigrants coming to the country.

What many people thought about this move though was that it was not a good move and would not be good for the country. One of the industries that have suffered because of this would be the education sector. Many universities and colleges in the United Kingdom were on the losing end as compared to all other universities and colleges around the world. The country was also not able to attract the best talents and minds because of this and so those talents and brains were attracted to other visa programs in other countries.

Recognizing the need for immigrant students

According to Johnson, he believes that this move would be a good thing for the UK. He also shared a great example where the immigrant students would be really helpful. He said that the country had been working on a project and he believes that any breakthroughs in that project would not happen if not for the best and the brightest immigrant students who have decided to study in the United Kingdom and have shared their skills and knowledge to the industries in the country. With a good program, the country can continue to attract these great minds which would be beneficial for the whole country.
