Uk Immigration Policy India

UK PM Rishi Sunak's leadership of the governing Conservative Party is facing turmoil on Thursday after a bruising Cabinet resignation and open attacks by backbenchers over his government's controversial policy to deport illegal migrants to Rwanda.

Britain's Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has said the country is working towards a trade deal with India, but that reaching a final agreement was "not a given", the Daily Mirror reported on Friday.

Britain has no plans to change its approach to reducing net migration in order to help secure a free trade deal with India, the spokesperson for Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said on Thursday.

London Mayor Sadiq Khan has said he will continue to lobby the UK government to change its rules around immigration as he branded the exclusion of Indians from an easier student visa application regime as "offensive" and a "wasted opportunity".

In a crackdown to curb its soaring immigration figures, the UK government has announced changes to its visa policy for non-EU nationals, which will affect a large number of Indians especially IT professionals.

UK government's call for a crackdown on immigration from non-EU nations today came under attack from the Opposition, which called the policy "xenophobic" and warned of risking hostility in workplaces and communities.

The UK today unveiled plans to further its crackdown on immigration through "work and study routes" from non-EU nations, in a move that is expected to make it difficult for British firms to hire professionals from countries like India.

Britain's first Conservative-only government in nearly two decades today unveiled its legislative agenda, confirming plans for tougher immigration policies, a referendum for the EU membership by the end of 2017 and more autonomy for Scotland.

Under pressure from education and industry leaders to review the recent curbs on student visas, Prime Minister David Cameron is likely to reverse policy and remove international students from official immigration figures, a measure that may relax some of the restrictions.

Allaying fears that its stringent immigration rules will hit skilled Indian workers coming into UK, Britain on Wednesday said that "adjustments" in the rules have been made to reduce the flow of immigrants in times of economic hardship.

In a move that is bound to create ripples, Britain today announced a shift in focus of its immigration policy which now seeks to welcome only those Indian and other non-European Union (EU) immigrants "who add to the quality of life", barring others with a low income potential.

Britain today published a list of nearly 1,900 banks in India most of them cooperative whose financial statements will not be accepted for student visa purposes, a move that is set to affect thousands of Indian students wanting to study there. The new list has just 85 banks operating in India whose statements will be accepted for purposes of stude...

Pledging to curb immigration to the UK, Prime Minister Gordon Brown announced that doors will be shut to highly skilled non-EU doctors and engineers.
