Changes in the immirgration rules in 2026 > 비자

Higher English Language Requirements (8 January 2026)
The English language requirement for new Skilled Worker, Scale-up, and High Potential Individual (HPI) visa applicants will increase from B1 (GCSE level) to B2 (A-level standard) from 08 January 2026. This represents a significant jump in proficiency, requiring more advanced comprehension, expression, and technical language skills both in written and oral forms.

Critically, this change applies only to first-time applicants. Those already holding permission under these routes can extend without demonstrating the higher proficiency level. 


Graduate Visa Duration Reduced (1 January 2027)
Effective from 1 January 2027, the post-study work permission for graduates with Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees will be reduced from 24 months to 18 months. However, graduates who complete a PhD will still be entitled to the full three years of permission.
