LONDON May 18: Suella Braverman, the UK’s Home Secretary, has said that she wants to make it more difficult for people to come to the UK to study. In a speech to the National Conservatism conference on Monday, she said that she wanted to see net migration fall to below 100,000 per year. She also said that she wanted to make it more difficult for people to come to the UK illegally.

Braverman’s plans have been met with mixed reactions. Some people have welcomed her focus on reducing immigration, while others have criticized her plans as being too harsh. It remains to be seen whether Braverman will be able to implement her plans, but she has certainly made immigration a key issue in the UK political debate.

Here are some of the specific proposals that Braverman has made to reduce immigration:

Increase the minimum salary required for skilled workers to come to the UK.
Make it more difficult for people to come to the UK to study.
Crack down on illegal immigration.
Make it easier for the government to deport people who are in the UK illegally.

Braverman has said that she believes her plans are necessary to protect the UK’s borders and to ensure that the country has control over its immigration policy. She has also said that she believes her plans will help to create jobs for British workers and to reduce pressure on public services.

However, Braverman’s plans have been criticized by some people who argue that they will make it more difficult for businesses to recruit the workers they need. They also argue that the plans will be unfair to people who are trying to come to the UK to work or study.

It remains to be seen whether Braverman will be able to implement her plans. However, she has certainly made immigration a key issue in the UK political debate.

In particular, Braverman has said that she wants to reduce the number of student visas issued to people who want to study at low-quality universities. She has also said that she wants to make it more difficult for people to switch from a student visa to a work visa.

It is still too early to say whether Braverman’s proposal will be implemented. However, it is something that students who are considering studying in the UK should be aware of.

These proposals have been criticized by some people who argue that they will make it more difficult for people from developing countries to get a good education in the UK. They also argue that the proposals will be unfair to people who are already studying in the UK on student visas.

It remains to be seen whether Braverman will be able to implement her proposals. However, they have certainly caused a lot of debate about the future of immigration in the UK.

The UK immigration rules are reviewed on a regular basis. The most recent review was in March 2023, when the Home Office published a Statement of Changes to the Immigration Rules (HC1160). This Statement of Changes introduced a number of changes to the rules, including:

The introduction of the Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) Scheme;
The introduction of the Innovator Founder Visa route;
The closure of the Start-up Visa route;
An increase in the Skilled Worker visa salary rates;
Updates to the Global Talent routes;

The Home Office has not yet announced when the next review of the immigration rules will take place. However, it is likely that there will be another review in the near future.
