@securebordersuk: Settlement in the UK will be earned, not automatic, under the new Earned Settlement model. Instead of migrants almost automatically qualifying after five years, how long someone waits will depend on their contribution and character. Under the reforms: ➡️ The standard route to settlement will double from five to 10 years ➡️ Migrants who claim benefits face a 20-year wait for settlement ➡️ Care workers who meet the visa requirements will retain a five-year route ➡️ Higher earners on over £50,000, skilled public service workers and refugees arriving on safe and legal routes will be able to settle in five years ➡️ People who enter illegally, including by small boat, face a wait of up to 30 years to settle ➡️ Migrants will be required to meet A-level standard English to settle in the UK ➡️Migrants with a criminal record will be prevented from settling in the UK The reforms will mean those who contribute more can earn settlement sooner, while those who break the rules will wait longer or be prevented from settling permanently. #UKImmigration #UKNews #Border #Immigration
