UK Bans over 100 occupations for foreigners to cut migration

The United Kingdom has announced that it has expunged over 100 occupations from being filled by foreign workers in a bid to cut net immigration.

The Home Office disclosed this in a statement on Saturday, August 30, adding that the new policy was aimed at opening up opportunities for British workers while reshaping its visa system.

“Cutting net migration means getting the fundamentals right.

“More than 100 occupations are no longer eligible for overseas recruitment – opening up more jobs for British workers. A fairer, skills-focused system is now taking shape,” the Home Office stated.

It, however, did not list the 100 occupations restricted from foreign workers.
