The UK has introduced a new points-based immigration system which will come into force from the 01st of January 2021. The new system will treat both EU and non-EU citizens on an equal basis and transform the way in which all migrants come to the UK to work. Anyone coming to the UK to work, excluding Irish citizens, will need to apply for Skilled Worker Visa UK permission in advance.
The applicants have to score points if they intend to come and work in the UK under the new points-based immigration system and must meet a specific set of requirements for which they will score points.
The points-based system will provide simple, effective and flexible arrangements for UK employers to recruit skilled workers from around the world through a number of different immigration routes.
The new point-based system will not apply to EU citizens living in the UK by 31 December 2020. They and their family members are eligible to apply to the EU Settlement Scheme until 30 June 2021.
During the transition, the employers can still accept the passports and national identity cards of EU citizens as evidence of their right to work until 30 June 2021.
The employers who want to recruit workers from outside the UK’s resident labour market need a licence from the home office to sponsor workers and this will enable them to recruit workers from anywhere in the world.
Under the new system, anyone coming to the UK to work will need to demonstrate that:
In addition to this, the job offer must meet the applicable minimum salary threshold which should be higher than either the minimum threshold set as £25600 or the specific salary requirement for their occupation.
All applicants will be able to claim, their qualifications, against a lower salary to get the required number of points. If the job offer is less than the minimum Skilled worker visa minimum salary requirement but no less than £20,480, an applicant may still be eligible if they have:

All jobs have a corresponding Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) code. Each SOC code has a designated skill level. This determines whether the job meets the requirements of the skilled worker route.
Immigration Skill Charge (ISC)
The Immigration Skills Charge is a fee paid by a UK employer for each skilled migrant worker they employ through the Skilled Worker and Intra-company Transfer routes. From 1 January 2021, such employers will need to pay the ISC when sponsoring both EU and non-EU migrant workers. Employers must pay £1,000 per skilled worker for the first 12 months, with an additional £500 charge for each subsequent six-month period.
Graduate Route
The graduate international students who have completed their degree in the UK from 2021 will be eligible to apply for the new graduate visa and this will enable the international students to remain and work in the UK for two years after the completion of their studies. International students who complete a PhD from Summer 2021 can stay in the UK for three years after study to live and work.
Health and Care Visa
The Health and Care Visa is part of the skilled work route. It will ensure individuals working in eligible health occupations, with a job offer from the NHS, social care sector or organisations that provide services to the NHS, are able to come to the UK.
Care Route
This route is for applicants in the creative industry who are entering the United Kingdom for short-term contracts or engagements for up to 12 months. Applicants must have a confirmed job offer and their employment sponsored by a UK employer licensed by the Home Office.
