Government announces new fast-track visa system
Top international scientists, mathematicians and researchers will be able to apply to work in the UK under a fast-track visa scheme, with no cap on the number of people who can benefit.
Individuals will not need to have an offer of employment before arriving in the UK, and their visa will not be tied to a specific job.
However, low-skilled workers would not get visas under post-Brexit immigration plans. This will have a major impact on employers in the hospitality, medical, care, agriculture and construction sectors.
