英国移民局将于2011年4月开始执行新的移民政策,新移民政策涉及从永居入籍的见习公民到TIER 1高技术移民,TIER 2工作签证,特殊工作,定居签证等一系列的内容。新政策对于非欧盟籍申请人的影响是非常巨大的,因此龙朔签证事务所建议申请人能够提早准备自己的签证申请。

从2011年4月6日开始,TIER 2工作签证每年的配额改为20700个。这两万个配额将平均分配到每个月。因此每个月大概1500个工作签证配额。需要注意的是这1500个配额是针对全球希望赴英国工作的申请人。根据目前移民局的调查显示,2010年入境英国的非欧盟籍工作签证持有人基本维持在每月4600个申请。因此工作签证自4月份开始额度将降低到原有的四分之一。

另外TIER 1高技术移民将于2011年4月正式停止,取而代之的是每年1000个exceptional talent visa。申请人需要有在国际上获奖的情况才可以有资格申请所谓exceptional talent visa。移民局给出的案例是诺贝尔奖得主申请人将被获得申请资格。

夫妻及未婚夫妻定居签证(亦或叫配偶签证)4月开始将被严格限制,目前移民局还没有给出具体的限制措施。龙朔签证事务所从多方途径了解到的可能有取消定居签证申请人特有的违法豁免权(目前,如果申请人曾经在英国有过违法记录按照移民法规定定居签证申请的时候不可以作为唯一拒签理由,这是定居签证法律的豁免),对夫妻关系定义更细致,从而让签证官有更好的尺度评估,提高担保人收入标准,提高签证申请费等一系列的措施。按照移民局官方的说法,由于目前定居签证法律上存在漏洞,因此很多非欧盟籍的非法婚姻申请者入境无法追究其法律责任。或者由于文化,地域,语言差异,很多夫妻在2年内离婚。但是申请人却继续持有有效签证滞留英国,而移民局官员无法对其采取任何有效的限制措施。上述情况的不断发生让英国移民局决心在此次变革中增加对定居签证申请人的审核力度,完善法律,最大限度的降低限制部分定居签证申请人入境英国的目的。

2010年末英国内政部针对国际学生,特别是非欧盟学生出台的九项议案引起了巨大的反响,对于此议案的解读一直是众说纷纭。由于议案始终处于草案阶段,外界对此颇多揣测。但据HOMEOFFICE一位不愿透露姓名的官员透露,今年英国会加大签证审查力度。

[签证趋势]

签证总量降低 难度提升

据悉,未来,英国签证处或会降低签证发放总数,这也就意味着签证率会降低,当然英国的这项政策并不只针对中国,所有赴英留学的外国学生都会受到影响。相应地,通过签证的难度会提高。突出表现在以下两点:

第一,英国签证处或会提高电话调查比例。电话调查时,工作人员通常会问学生是用中文还是用英文,建议学生选择英文来接受调查。如果选择中文,签证处官员会认为学生的英文水平达不到留学要求,或会给予拒签。资深留学专家胡靖提醒学生,在电话调查前一定要清楚地了解自己的学习动机和目的包括所学课程,课程的内容、未来发展打算及父母收入状况、经济来源等。

第二,学生在入境时可能会面临比以往更为严格的海关盘查,盘查内容同电话调查内容类似。因此,建议学生在入境前一定要练好自己的听力和口语。同时,海关也会加大对留学生行李检查,因此提醒留学生一定不要带违禁品。据悉,曾有学生因为在入境英国时携带大量香烟而被驱逐。

[议案透视]

明确普通学生签证语言水平

英国内政部通过调查发现,语言水平很低且在私立语言学校就读的学生往往不上学或者很少上学,他们留学的目的只是为了打工。而这些语言学校一方面由于入学门槛低,另一方面收费低,管理不严格,而对这些学生大开方便之门,为了保证留学生留学目的的纯正,同时也是为约束语言学校,议案明确规定了使用普通学生签证学生的语言水平(B2)(相当于雅思5.0-6.0),以及语言学校可以提供的最低课程水平(C1)(雅思6.5+)。移民局认为低层次的语言课程申请者完全可以在本国完成,高层次语言课程(雅思6.5+)可以到英国后再学习。

短期语言课程学生需持访问学生签证

为照顾低端语言课程市场的学生资源,英国重新定义了Student Visitor(访问学生)签证,无语言成绩要求以及就读低端语言课程的学生可以按照“访问签证”类型准备签证材料,赴英就读语言课程,Student Visitor(访问学生)签证不要求学生提供语言水平证明,但是访问学生签证的课程仅限于语言课程且不长于11个月、签证材料相对繁琐、到英后不能打工、签证到期后需回原住国重新续签。

对普通学生签证赴英就读专业课程的语言要求有所提高

新草案对学生赴英就读专业课程的语言水平提出了更明确、更高的要求,以往学生因雅思成绩不理想,希望通过学校内部测试直接赴英国读预科或者本科课程的可能性大大降低。

本项预案对学生的影响深远,持普通学生签证的学生赴英前必须进行雅思测试,移民局不太可能要求学生在赴英之前都必须达到5.5以上水平,所以可行的方案肯定是所有的学生都要硬性参加雅思测试,并且要达到5.0以上的成绩才能用普通学生签证赴英就读专业课程(包括pre-sessional学期前语言预备课程)。

英国投资移民和企业家移民近期作出重大调整,作为对外来移民对英国经济贡献的奖励,英国政府允许申请人根据在英国投资金额数量来决定获得永居的时间。如果申请人在英国投资1000万英镑,则可以在2年内获得英国永居身份,申请人如果在英国投资500万英镑或者创造10个就业机会,则可以在3年内获得永居身份。

同时,英国为了鼓励企业家移民,将会在访问签证类型里边设立一个prospective entrepreneurs的签证,帮助申请企业家移民的申请人提前付英国进行考察,并且设立账户等事宜。

Government ‘rolls out the red carpet’ for entrepreneurs and investors

16 March 2011

Foreign entrepreneurs and investors are being given an extra incentive to come to the UK today by new visa rules, which will reward those who contribute to economic growth.

Under changes to the Immigration Rules, which were laid in Parliament today, people who come to the UK under Tier 1 (Investor) of the points-based system will be able to settle here faster if they invest large sums of money. Those who invest £5 million will be allowed to settle here after 3 years, and those investing £10 million or more will be allowed to settle after 2 years. This compares with the current minimum 5-year requirement.

The right to accelerated settlement will apply to those investors who are already in the UK and have invested large sums, as well as new arrivals.

Tier 1 (Entrepreneur) migrants will also be able to settle in the UK more quickly if they create 10 jobs or turn over £5 million in a 3-year period.

Immigration Minister Damian Green said:

'Today I have sent out a clear message - the UK remains open for business and we want those who have the most to offer to come and settle here.

'Entrepreneurs and investors can play a major part in our economic recovery, and I want to do everything I can to ensure that Britain remains an attractive destination for them.

‘Last year we issued far too few visas to those who wish to set up a business or invest in the UK - I intend to change that.’

The standard investment threshold for an entrepreneur to qualify for a Tier 1 visa will remain at £200,000, but the government will allow high-potential businesses to come to the UK with £50,000 in funding from a reputable organisation. And entrepreneurs will be allowed to enter the UK with their business partners as long as they have access to joint funds.

Major investors will also enjoy more flexibility: they will be allowed to spend up to 180 days per year, rather than 90, outside the UK without affecting their right to settle here. This addresses a major concern cited by investors, as they need to be constantly mobile.

Additionally, a new type of visitor visa will be created for prospective entrepreneurs. They will be allowed to enter the UK so that they can secure funding and make arrangements for starting their business before they transfer to a full Tier 1 (Entrepreneur) visa while they are here.

The government has also published a statement of intent outlining how the new Tier 1 (Exceptional talent) route will operate from April 2011.

This innovative new route for exceptionally talented migrants will be limited to 1,000 visas per year. It is for those who have already been recognised or have the potential to be recognised as leaders in the fields of science, arts and humanities.

Migrants seeking entry under Tier 1 (Exceptional talent) will not need to be sponsored by an employer but will need to be endorsed by an accredited competent body. These competent bodies will be announced in the near future. It will be for each competent body to select those who will qualify for endorsement.

Under Tier 1 (Exceptional talent), migrants will initially be granted permission to stay in the UK for 3 years and 4 months. They will then be able to extend their stay for a further 2 years, and to settle here after 5 years’ residence in the UK.

Damian Green added:

'Our new exceptional talent route will ensure that we continue to allow the brightest and the best who can make a valued contribution into the UK.

‘This comes at a time of major reform to the immigration system to bring net migration back down to the tens of thousands.’

The changes will come into effect on 6 April 2011. They were announced today by Damian Green in a written ministerial statement, which you can find under ‘Related documents’ on the right side of this page.

A statement of policy contains more information about the changes to Tier 1. You can find this statement, and an assessment of the likely impact of the new limits being applied to Tiers 1 and 2 of the points-based system, under ‘Policy and law’ on the right side of this page.

The government has made clear its commitment to supporting a private-sector-led economic recovery. For growth to be strong and sustainable, the economy must be rebalanced to support private-sector jobs, exports and investment.

Micha-Rose Emmett, Associate of Henley & Partners Ltd, said:

'We applaud the Home Office on the introduction of these new rules for the investor and entrepreneur categories. This is evidence that the UK is becoming again a key player in investor immigration worldwide.

'With these changes, high net worth individuals will be more likely to chose the UK as their preferred country to reside as the physical presence requirements have been sensibly relaxed. The investment opportunity becomes more interesting for investors, and this is a very encouraging prospect for the future of the country.

‘International wealthy individuals and families need effective, interesting solutions that can be implemented swiftly, and this new policy give these people those possibilities, which in turn will attract significant capital to the UK.’

Full details of all the changes that will come into effect on 6 April are set out in a stetement of changes to the Immigration Rules (HC 863). You can find this under ‘Policy and law’ on the right side of this page.
