    Non-EU Tier 2 visa holders start 'Stop 35K' campaign
  • Many Indians and those from outside EU have started a campaign called 'Stop 35K'.

    The campaign is a protest against the UK government's discriminatory revision to the criteria for non-EU nationals seeking "Indefinite Leave to Remain" (ILR) in the UK after 5-years of residing and working there.

    According to the new rule, those Tier 2 visa holders earning less than £35,000 will face deportation.

    UK changed Tier 2 visa norms
  • The UK government introduced new visa-norms which would come into effect from 6 April 2016.

    According to the new rule, people working and living in the UK on a Tier-2 visa earning less than £35,000 a year would have to leave the country after 5 years of their stay.

    The norms would hurt Indian professionals the most (largest category of individuals issued such visas).

    Reason for the change and long-lasting effects

    Reason for the change and long-lasting effects
  • The Home Office claimed that the new visa guidelines will "break the link between work and staying in the UK permanently" and boost employment for UK workers.

    The Migration Advisory Committee, however, claimed that this measure will "cost the UK £761 million" in the next 10 years.

    Moreover, the order will increase the cost of healthcare, education and business start-ups in the UK.
