Recent Legal Insights: Compliance and Immigration
Monday 11th December 2023
As we step into the festive season and the year draws to a close, we are excited to share recent immigration updates that may directly impact you:
🌐 UK Immigration Trends: Imagine navigating the ever-evolving migration scene—ONS unveiled provisional figures for 2023. A net migration of 672,000, with non-EU nationals leading the charge due to health and care visas.
🛑 Potential BRP Delays: The Home Office alerts specific visa applicants about potential Biometric Residence Permit (BRP) production delays. Clients awaiting BRP delivery can explore alternative status validation methods and contact us for assistance.
🏢 Successful Mock Audit: Celebrating the success of our business client who recently excelled in a mock audit—an indispensable step for sponsor licence holders. Securing and maintaining the licence demands a robust demonstration of meeting sponsor duties.
What is the right time for a mock audit? We recommend considering one if you have not been inspected before, are in the process of licence renewal, are undergoing organisational changes, or have received a Home Office inspection notice.
🌍 Autumn Statement 2023: The Chancellor's November 22, 2023, Autumn Statement introduces pivotal changes, emphasising "Backing British Business" to simplify and broaden the UK's business visitor visa. The Youth Mobility Scheme, or "working holiday visa," is also set for expansion.
